Treatment of acetylenic or olefinic carbonates and esters with a low-valent titanium reagent diisopropoxy(η2-propene)titanium (1), readily generated by the reaction of Ti(O-i-Pr)4 or ClTi(O-i-Pr)3 with 2i-PtMgX, resulted in an intramolecular nucleophilic acyl substitution (INAS) reaction to afford organotitanium compounds having a carbonyl functional group, in good to excellent yields. Thus, the treatment of alkyl alkynyl carbonates 2 or alkyl alkenyl carbonates 4 with 1 gave organotitanium compounds having a lactone and/or ester group. Similarly, alkyl alkynoates 10 or alkynyl esters 14 of carboxylic acids reacted with 1 to give organotitanium compounds having a cyclic or acyclic ketone group, respectively. Thus, the reaction provides, after hydrolysis, five- or six-membered α-alkylidene lactones and/or α,β-unsaturated esters from 2, γ-butyrolactone derivatives from 4, five- or six-membered α-alkylidene cyclic ketones from 10, and acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones 15 from 14. In all cases, the yields are excellent and the generation of the organotitanium compounds was confirmed by deuterolysis. The organotitaniums 6 and 11c reacted smoothly with iodine to afford 2-(iodomethyl)-4-butanolide (9) and α-[iodo(trimethylsilyl)methylidene]cyclopentanone, respectively. The organotitanium compounds obtained here also reacted with aldehydes to give the corresponding adducts, thus opening up a new access to substituted α,β-butenolides from 2, to γ-butyrolactones from 4, and to the corresponding tetrasubstituted furan from 10 and 14.

The development of an efficient method for the site-selective substitution of unprotected phenols has long been considered as an attractive but challenging task. Herein, we describe a highly chemo- and ortho-selective substitution reaction of phenols with α-aryl α-diazoacetates with commercially available (C6F5)3B as the catalyst. This reaction proceeds under simple and mild conditions with high efficiency, it features a wide substrate scope and can be easily scaled up.
