Ruthenium(0) Catalyzed Endiyne-?-Ketol [4 + 2] Cycloaddition: Convergent Assembly of Type II Polyketide Substructures via C-C Bond Forming Transfer Hydrogenation.


ABSTRACT: Upon exposure of 3,4-benzannulated 1,5-diynes (benzo-endiynes) to ?-ketols (?-hydroxyketones) in the presence of Ru(0) catalysts derived from Ru3(CO)12 and RuPhos or CyJohnPhos, successive redox-triggered C-C coupling occurs to generate products of [4 + 2] cycloaddition. The proposed catalytic mechanism involves consecutive alkyne-carbonyl oxidative couplings to form transient oxaruthanacycles that suffer ?-ketol mediated transfer hydrogenolysis. This process provides a new, convergent means of assembling Type II polyketide substructures.
