A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclopropanation of γ-methylidene-δ-valerolactones with aromatic aldehydes has been developed to give 4-oxaspiro[2.4]heptanes with high selectivity. The site of nucleophilic attack to a π-allylpalladium intermediate has been controlled with a sterically demanding phosphine ligand. The course of the reaction is highly dependent on ligands and solvents, and selective formation of methylenetetrahydropyrans has also been realized.
钯催化的γ-亚甲基-δ-戊内酯与芳香醛的脱羧环丙烷化反应已经被开发出来,可以高选择性地得到 4-氧杂螺[2.4]庚烷。通过空间位阻较大的膦配体控制了π-烯丙基钯中间体的亲核进攻位点。反应的进程高度依赖于配体和溶剂,并且也实现了亚甲基四氢吡喃的选择性形成。
