Published: October 2020

An original multi-cooperative catalytic approach was developed by combining metal-ligand cooperation and Lewis acid activation. The [(SCS)Pd] complex featuring a non-innocent indenediide-based ligand was found to be a very efficient and versatile catalyst for the Conia-ene reaction, when associated with Mg(OTf). The reaction operates at low catalytic loadings under mild conditions with HFIP as a co-solvent. It works with a variety of substrates, including those bearing internal alkynes. It displays complete 5- 6- regio-selectivity. In addition, except for the highly congested Bu-substituent, the reaction occurs with high stereo-selectivity, making it synthetically useful and complementary to known catalysts.

Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces a new photoredox-catalyzed reaction that combines Conia-ene cyclization and Smiles rearrangement using alkyne-tethered α-sulfonyl esters.
  • This method enables the efficient creation of diverse and highly substituted methylenecarbocycles.
  • It also reveals an innovative mechanistic pathway involving aryl group migration, which is an advancement over the traditional 1,5-hydrogen shift found in typical Conia-ene reactions.

Chemoselectivity Switch between Enantioselective [2,3]-Wittig Rearrangement and Conia-Ene-Type Reactions of Propargyloxyoxindoles.

Despite the existence of three competing reactions for propargyloxyoxindoles, we report a chemoselectivity switch between enantioselective propargyl [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement and Conia-ene-type reactions, with suppression of the [1,2]-Wittig-type rearrangement. Using C-symmetric imidazolidine-pyrroloimidazolone pyridine as the ligand and Ni(acac) as the Lewis acid, diverse 3-hydroxy 3-substituted oxindoles containing allenyl groups were obtained in up to 98 % yield and 99 % ee via asymmetric propargyl [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement. In the presence of AgOTf-Duanphos, chiral spiro dihydrofuran oxindoles were given in up to 98 % yield and 91 % ee through a Conia-ene-type reaction.

A novel one-pot protocol that enables sequential execution of an aza-Piancatelli rearrangement and a Conia-ene type reaction has been developed under Lewis acid catalysis. Here, a combination of B(CF) and Cu(OTf), triethylamine, and triphenylphosphine yielded a wide range of -fused cyclopentenone-pyrrolidine scaffolds in one pot with good yields and diastereoselectivity.

The bridged diazatricycloundecane sp-rich scaffold was synthesised the gold(I)-catalysed Conia-ene reaction. The electron-donating property of the siloxymethyl group on alkyne 1 enabled 6- cyclization, whereas the ethoxy carbonyl group on alkyne 4 led to 5- cyclization with complete regioselectivity in the Conia-ene reaction. The resulting bridged diazatricycloundecane scaffold 5 allowed the construction of a library of sp-rich compounds.
