Abstract

A reagent-controlled divergent reaction of vinyl sulfoxonium ylides with arylideneindane-1,3-diones has been developed. The transformation proceeds through in situ formation and selective cleavage of donor-acceptor cyclopropane intermediates, providing dihydropyranone and indenopyranone scaffolds with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. B(C6F5)3 affords dihydropyranones, whereas ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) furnishes indenopyranones. Mechanistic studies identify a common vinyl cyclopropane intermediate and support distinct ionic and radical pathways.

One-pot divergent synthesis of 5-arylmethyl oxazoles and polyacenes from propargylic amides and arynes

We report a sequential one-pot gold-catalyzed cyclization/aryne cycloaddition strategy that affords structurally diverse 5-arylmethyl oxazoles and substituted polyacenes from simple propargylic amides. Arynes are shown to engage the oxazoline products from gold catalysis via an ene reaction, with the resulting oxazoles...

From 1,2-Diborylalkenes to Functionalized Indenols: Tandem Suzuki Coupling-Intramolecular Cyclization.

A concise and efficient domino strategy for the synthesis of symmetrically 2,3-disubstituted indenols has been developed via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling of readily accessible 1,2-diborylalkenes with substituted 2-bromoaryl carbonyl compounds. The reaction proceeds efficiently, with palladium playing a dual role...

Palladium-Catalyzed Tandem Dearomative Heck Reaction of N-Propiolyl Indoles or Pyrroles with Aryl Bromides.

An efficient Pd-catalyzed tandem dearomative Heck reaction of N-propiolylindoles or pyrroles with aryl bromides has been developed. The protocol provides access to a series of benzopyrrolizinone and pyrrolizinone derivatives bearing a quaternary stereocenter and a tetrasubstituted olefin moiety in moderate to high yiel...
