Chiral gold(I)-cavitand complexes have been developed for the enantioselective alkoxycyclization of 1,6-enynes. This enantioselective cyclization has been applied for the first total synthesis of carbazole alkaloid (+)-mafaicheenamine C and its enantiomer, establishing its configuration as R. The cavity effect was also evaluated in the cycloisomerization of dienynes. A combination of experiments and theoretical studies demonstrates that the cavity of the gold(I) complexes forces the enynes to adopt constrained conformations, which results in the high observed regio- and stereoselectivities.
手性金(I)-环糊精配合物已被开发用于 1,6-烯炔的对映选择性烷氧基环化反应。这种对映选择性环化反应首次应用于咔唑生物碱 (+)-mafaicheenamine C 及其对映异构体的全合成,确定了其构型为 R。空腔效应也在二烯炔的环异构化中进行了评估。实验和理论研究的结合表明,金(I)配合物的空腔迫使烯炔采取受限构象,从而导致高观察到的区域和立体选择性。
