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]
