A new and reliable procedure for constructing five- to seven-membered carbocycles via an endomode ring-closing reaction of 1-phenylsulfonylallenes with a substituent that has a terminal active methine moiety at the C 1-position has been developed. Trisubstituted 1-phenylsulfonylallenes underwent a similar endo-mode ring-closing reaction to produce the corresponding five- to seven-membered carbocycles, while the formation of six- and seven-membered carbocycles from the corresponding tetrasubstituted allene was not realized. In addition, the introduction of an aromatic ring to the alkyl side chain of the starting allenes made possible the construction not only of normal-sized carbocycles but also an eight-membered framework.

Treatment of dimethyl 4-(phenylsulfonyl)-4,5-hexadiene-1,1-dicarboxylate with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butanol at room temperature effected successive endo-mode ring closure at the sp-hybridized carbon center and demethoxycarbonylation of the resulting malonate derivative leading to the exclusive formation of methyl 2-methyl-3-(phenylsulfonyl)-1-cyclopentenecarboxylate. An additional seven allenyl sulfones having a 1,3-dicarbonyl functionality gave the corresponding cyclopentene or cyclohexene derivatives in high yields.
