A new type of rhodium-catalyzed [5 + 2] cycloaddition was developed for the synthesis of seven-membered rings with diverse functionalities. The ring formation was accompanied by a 1,2-acyloxy migration event. The five- and two-carbon components of the cycloaddition are 3-acyloxy-1,4-enynes (ACEs) and alkynes, respectively. Cationic rhodium(I) catalysts worked most efficiently for the intramolecular cycloaddition, while only neutral rhodium(I) complexes could facilitate the intermolecular reaction. In both cases, electron-poor phosphite or phosphine ligands often improved the efficiency of the cycloadditions. The scope of ACEs and alkynes was investigated in both the intra- and intermolecular reactions. The resulting seven-membered-ring products have three double bonds that could be selectively functionalized.
开发了一种新型的铑催化[5+2]环加成反应,用于合成具有各种官能团的七元环。环形成伴随着 1,2-酰氧基迁移事件。环加成的五碳和两碳组分分别是 3-酰氧基-1,4-烯炔(ACE)和炔烃。阳离子铑(I)催化剂对分子内环加成反应最有效,而只有中性铑(I)配合物才能促进分子间反应。在这两种情况下,缺电子的亚磷酸酯或膦配体通常可以提高环加成反应的效率。在分子内和分子间反应中都研究了 ACE 和炔烃的范围。所得的七元环产物具有三个双键,可以选择性官能化。
