We report here a C-H homoallylation reaction of aromatic ketones with methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) only using a catalytic amount of Fe(PMe3)4. A variety of aromatic ketones and MCPs are applicable to the reaction to form ortho-homoallylated aromatic ketones selectively via regioselective scission of the three-membered rings. The homoallylated products are amenable to further elaborations, providing functionalized 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes.
Photochemistry of 3-methyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene
Laarhoven, W. H.,Berendsen, N.
, p. 367 - 371 (2007/10/02)
Irradiation of the title compound (6) with a broad spectrum lamp at room temperature afforded 2-methylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene(8) and 2-methylnaphthalene (7).Apart from 8, irradiation of 6 at -45 deg also afforded 5-methylbenzobicyclohex-2-ene (12) 1-methylidene-2-(2-tolyl)cyclopropane (13) as well as a small amount of 2-methyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene (14).Both 12 and 13 originate from the ring-opened product of 6.Compound 14 is probably formed via a retro di-?-methane rearrangement from 12.Irradiation of 6 in n-propylamine afford the same photoproducts, 14 being the main one in this case.
