Cyclopentenylidene gold complexes can easily be formed from vinyl allenes through a Nazarov-like mechanism. Such carbenes may transform in four different ways into polycyclic frameworks: electrophilic cyclopropanation, C-H insertion, C-C migration, or proton shift. We have studied the selectivity of these different pathways and used our findings for the expedient preparation of valuable complex molecules. An application to the total synthesis of a natural product, Delta(9(12))-capnellene, is presented. DFT computations were carried out to shed light on the mechanisms.
环戊烯基金配合物可以很容易地通过类似 Nazarov 的机制从乙烯基丙二烯形成。这些卡宾可以通过四种不同的方式转化为多环框架:亲电环丙烷化、C-H 插入、C-C 迁移或质子迁移。我们研究了这些不同途径的选择性,并利用我们的发现来方便地制备有价值的复杂分子。本文介绍了它们在全合成天然产物 Delta(9(12))-capnellene 中的应用。进行了 DFT 计算以阐明这些反应机制。
