A facile double oxidative annulation of (en-3-yn-1-yl)phenylbenzamides was developed allowing us to synthetize fused tetracyclic compounds. Under copper catalysis, the reaction proceeds with high efficiency and leads to new indolo[1,2-]quinolines via a decarbonylative double oxidative annulation. On the other hand, under ruthenium catalysis, new isoquinolin-1[2]-ones were obtained via a double oxidative annulation.

Revised Mechanism for a Ruthenium-Catalyzed Coupling of Aldehyde and Terminal Alkyne.

ACS Omega

Department of Chemistry and FQRNT Centre for Green Chemistry and Catalysis, McGill University, Montréal, Quebec, Canada H3A 0B8.

Ruthenium catalysts have been found to be of great use for many kinds of reactions. Understanding the details of the catalytic cycle allows to not only rationalize experimental results but also to improve upon reactions. Herein, we present a detailed computational study of a ruthenium-catalyzed coupling between a terminal alkyne and an aldehyde.

Imidazole derivatives are revealed to be effective ligands in the Ru-catalyzed hydroesterification of alkenes using formates, affording one-carbon-elongated esters in high yields. Further, intramolecular hydroesterification was successfully performed to give lactones for the first time. Imidazole derivatives can contribute to promote the reaction as well as to suppress the undesired decarbonylation of formate.

Ru-catalyzed decarbonylative addition of aliphatic aldehydes to terminal alkynes.

Org Lett

Department of Chemistry, McGill University, 801 Sherbrooke St. West, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2K6, Canada.

A novel method for the formation of isolated C=C bonds was developed via a ruthenium-catalyzed decarbonylative addition of aliphatic aldehydes and alkynes. An unprecedented complete switch of chemoselectivity from aromatic aldehydes to aliphatic aldehydes was observed simply by using tri(2,4,6-trismethoxyphenyl)phosphine as ligand. A synthesis by this method of an insect sex pheromone was demonstrated.
