Here, we describe the development of a Rh-catalyzed intramolecular one-carbon homologation of unstrained aryl ketones through a formal 1,1-insertion process of olefins, enabled by temporary directing group (TDG)-aided C-C activation. The reaction provides a distinct approach to access various substituted 1-indanones. Computational mechanistic studies reveal that the formal 1,1-insertion is realized by a selective C(sp)-C(sp) activation and turnover limiting 2,1-insertion into the alkene, followed by a facile β-H elimination and reinsertion process.
在此,我们描述了一种通过烯烃的形式上的1,1-插入过程实现的、由临时导向基团(TDG)辅助的C-C活化所促成的Rh催化的无张力芳基酮分子内单碳同系化反应。该反应为获得各种取代的1-茚酮提供了一种独特的方法。计算机理研究表明,形式上的1,1-插入是通过选择性的C(sp)-C(sp)活化以及限速的2,1-插入到烯烃中实现的,随后是一个容易的β-H消除和再插入过程。
