We describe a general strategy for the intermolecular synthesis of polysubstituted cyclopentenones using palladium catalysis. Overall, this reaction is achieved via a molecular shuffling process involving an alkyne, an α,β-unsaturated acid chloride, which serves as both the alkene and carbon monoxide source, and a hydrosilane to create three new C-C bonds. This new carbon monoxide-free pathway delivers the products with excellent yields. Furthermore, the regioselectivity is complementary to conventional methods for cyclopentenone synthesis. In addition, a set of regio- and chemodivergent reactions are presented to emphasize the synthetic potential of this novel strategy.

Aldehydes are converted by thionyl chloride and benzotriazole into 1-(1-chloroalyl)benzotriazoles which react with sodium carboxylates to give 1-(benzotriazol-1-yl)alkyl esters. 3. In the alternative route, 3 are prepared by substitution of one of the acetoxy groups in acylals with benzotriazole. The benzotriazolyl moiety in 3 is substituted by an alkyl, an aryl or an alkynyl group upon treatment with an organic reagent in a new versatile synthesis of esters 4.

Benzotriazole and aldehydes react reversibly to give addition products: in the presence of amines and other NH-compounds water can be eliminated to form products of type Bt-CHR-NR′R″. The latter are versatile intermediates for the preparation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines and in the alkylation of hydroxylamines, hydrazines, amides, thioamides, and sulfonamides. Polyfunctional amines and other polyfunctional compounds can also be prepared, and they enable significant extending of Mannich reaction. Similar oxygen compounds Bt-CRR′-OR″ enable new syntheses of ethers and esters. Reactions in which benzotriazole is eliminated rather than substituted open up new pathways to enamines, enol ethers, and nitrones. The methodology is capable of extension to a variety of vinylogous systems including benzenoid and heteroaromatic derivatives. In addition to acting as a versatile leaving group, benzotriazolyl residues activate neighboring CH bonds to proton loss and a variety of such applications is described.
