New gold-catalyzed [4+3]-annulations of 3-en-1-ynamides with isoxazoles afford 4-azepines efficiently; this process involves 6π electrocyclizations of gold-stabilized 3-azaheptatrienyl cations. In the presence of Zn(OTf), the resulting 4-azepines undergo skeletal rearrangement to furnish substituted pyridine derivatives. We subsequently develop new catalytic [4+2]-annulations between the same 3-en-1-ynamides and isoxazoles to deliver substituted pyridine products using Au(i)/Zn(ii) catalysts. This work reports the first success of the 6π electrocyclizations of heptatrienyl cations that are unprecedented in literature reports.
新型金催化的3-烯-1-炔酰胺与异恶唑的[4+3]环化反应能高效生成4-氮杂环庚三烯;该过程涉及金稳定的3-氮杂庚三烯基阳离子的6π电环化反应。在三氟甲磺酸锌(Zn(OTf))存在下,生成的4-氮杂环庚三烯会发生骨架重排,得到取代吡啶衍生物。随后,我们开发了相同的3-烯-1-炔酰胺与异恶唑之间新的催化[4+2]环化反应,以使用金(I)/锌(II)催化剂来制备取代吡啶产物。这项工作报道了庚三烯基阳离子6π电环化反应的首次成功,这在文献报道中是前所未有的。
