The first asymmetric version of intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions of unstrained alkenes is described. Generally simple acyclic alkenes exhibit low reactivity and regioselectivity in intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions; however, o-(dimethylamino)phenyl vinyl sulfoxide reacts under very mild conditions with a wide variety of terminal alkynes in a completely regioselective and highly stereoselective manner. The utility of the resulting 5-sulfinyl-2-cyclopentenones in asymmetric synthesis is illustrated by a very short enantioselective synthesis of the antibiotic (-)-pentenomycin I.

Polymers containing lactam structures play a crucial role in both natural biological systems and human life, and their synthesis, functions and applications are of utmost importance for biomimetics and the creation of new materials. In this study, we developed an efficient heterogeneous Pauson-Khand polymerization (h-PKP) method for the controlled synthesis of main-chain poly(γ-lactam)s containing α, β-unsaturated γ-lactam functionalities using readily available internal alkynes and imines. The molecular weights of the resulting poly(N-Ts/γ-lactam)s can be precisely controlled by adjusting the ratio of phenyl formate and nickel.

A strategy for the palladium-catalyzed intermolecular synthesis of polysubstituted cyclopentenones is reported. The three-component reaction utilizes vinyl iodides and internal alkynes to form the carbon framework of the cyclopentenone with Cr(CO) serving as an easy to handle, solid CO surrogate, and a hydrosilane as a hydride source. We demonstrate the scope of the reaction which includes a wide range of functional groups.

The final phase of the total synthesis of (-)-spirochensilide A is described. A tungsten-mediated cyclopropene-based Pauson-Khand reaction was developed to form the spiral CD ring system with desired stereochemistry at the C13 quaternary center. Other important steps enabling completion of this synthesis included an intermolecular aldol condensation to link the ABCD core with the EF fragment and a Cu-mediated 1,4-addition to stereoselectively install the C21 stereogenic center.

The Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) is one of the key methods for the construction of cyclopentenone derivatives, which can in turn undergo diverse chemical transformations to yield more complex biologically active molecules. Despite the increasing availability of fluorinated building blocks and methodologies to incorporate fluorine in compounds with biological interest, there have been few significant advances focused on the fluoro-Pauson-Khand reaction, both in the inter- and intramolecular versions. Furthermore, the use of vinyl fluorides as olefinic counterparts had been completely overlooked.
