The rhodium(III)-catalyzed aromatic C-H activation/intramolecular Heck-type reaction has been studied to synthesize spirocyclic compounds, an important class of molecules in medicinal chemistry and natural product synthesis. This approach was efficient with a variety of substituted N-methoxybenzamides tethered to different cyclic alkenes having a 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring. This practical method affords sterically hindered o-substituted aryl spirocycles that are valuable compounds for further functionalization to access relevant building blocks.

The excision of hydrogen from an aliphatic carbon chain to produce an isolated olefin (desaturation) without overoxidation is one of the most impressive and powerful biosynthetic transformations for which there are no simple and mild laboratory substitutes. The versatility of olefins and the range of reactions they undergo are unsurpassed in functional group space. Thus, the conversion of a relatively inert aliphatic system into its unsaturated counterpart could open new possibilities in retrosynthesis. In this article, the invention of a directing group to achieve such a transformation under mild, operationally simple, metal-free conditions is outlined. This 'portable desaturase' (Tz o °Cl) is a bench-stable, commercial entity (Aldrich, catalogue number L510092) that is facile to install on alcohol and amine functionalities to ultimately effect remote desaturation, while leaving behind a synthetically useful tosyl group.
