Copper-catalyzed skeletal rearrangement of O-propargyl arylaldoximes 1 produced the corresponding 4-arylidene-2-azetidinones 2 and their regioisomers 2' in good to excellent yields. For example, the reaction of benzaldehyde O-1,3-diphenylprop-2-ynyl oxime (1b) in the presence of 10 mol % CuBr in toluene at 100 degrees C for 24 h gave (E)-4-benzylidene-1,3-diphenylazetidin-2-one (2b) in 96% yield. (13)C labeling experiments suggest that the present reaction proceeds through bond cleavage of five different covalent bonds: C=N, N-O, C-O, C-C, and C[triple bond]C.
铜催化的 O-炔丙基芳醛肟 1 的骨架重排生成了相应的 4-芳亚甲基-2-氮杂环丁酮 2 和它们的区域异构体 2',产率良好至优秀。例如,在 100°C 下,在 10 mol% CuBr 的存在下,苯甲醛 O-1,3-二苯基丙-2-炔基肟(1b)在甲苯中反应 24 小时,得到(E)-4-苄基-1,3-二苯基氮杂环丁-2-酮(2b),产率为 96%。(13)C 标记实验表明,目前的反应通过五种不同的共价键的断裂进行:C=N、N-O、C-O、C-C 和 C[三键]C。
