Substituted ?-Alkylidene Cyclopentenones via the Intramolecular Reaction of Vinyl Cations with Alkenes.


ABSTRACT: Substituted ?-alkylidene cyclopentenones are formed in up to 93% yield by the intramolecular capture of vinyl cations with pendent alkenes. An increased level of substitution at the ?-position of the ?-hydroxy-?-diazoketone starting material changed the course of the reaction to instead give a lactone product. A reaction path that involves bond reorganization via an acylium ion intermediate is proposed to explain these results. Substrate scope studies showed that more stable vinyl cations gave higher ?-alkylidene cyclopentenone yields. This study provides a mild and efficient method to form ?-alkylidene cyclopentenones that complements C-H insertion and Nazarov cyclization strategies.

Substituted α-alkylidene cyclopentenones are formed in up to 93% yield by the intramolecular capture of vinyl cations with pendent alkenes. An increased level of substitution at the β-position of the β-hydroxy-α-diazoketone starting material changed the course of the reaction to instead give a lactone product. A reaction path that involves bond reorganization via an acylium ion intermediate is proposed to explain these results. Substrate scope studies showed that more stable vinyl cations gave h  ...[more]
