Fe-Catalyzed Selective Cyclopropanation of Enynes under Photochemical or Thermal Conditions
Picher, Marie-Idrissa,Plietker, Bernd
, p. 340 - 344 (2020)
The nucleophilic Fe-complex Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)] (TBA[Fe]) catalyzes the cyclopropanation of enynes to substituted propargyl cyclopropanes using diazoesters as carbene surrogates. The catalyst can be activated either thermally in the presence of catalytic amounts of 4-nitroanisole or under photochemical conditions. Cyclopropanation occurs selectively at the enyne moiety; alternative olefinic moieties remain intact.
Regioselective solvent-dependent benzannulation of conjugated enynes

The transformation of enynes under cobalt-catalysis leads to symmetrical benzannulation products in dichloromethane. In tetrahydrofuran the cobalt-catalysed reactions afforded the unprecedented unsymmetrical benzannulation products in moderate to good yields and good regioselectivities. In addition, cyclotrimerisation of the alkyne subunit can be realised when electron-deficient enynes are applied in the cobalt-catalysed transformations to generate 1,2,4-trivinylbenzene derivatives using tetrahydrofuran as solvent.
