Synthesis of 2H-Chromenes via Hydrazine-Catalyzed Ring-Closing Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The catalytic ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis (RCCOM) of O-allyl salicylaldehydes to form 2H-chromenes is described. The method utilizes a [2.2.1]-bicyclic hydrazine catalyst and operates via a [3+2]/retro-[3+2] metathesis manifold. The nature of the allyl substitution pattern was found to be crucial, with sterically demanding groups such as adamantylidene or diethylidene offering optimal outcomes. A survey of substrate scope is shown along with a discussion of mechanism supported by DFT calculations. Steric pressure arising from syn-pentane minimization of the diethylidene moiety is proposed to facilitate cycloreversion. Graphical Abstract
