Iridium-Catalyzed Regioselective Hydroalkynylation of Internal Alkenes Directed by an Oxime

We report here an iridium-catalyzed hydroalkynylation of allylic alcohols protected by an oxime group. Catalytic alkynylation occurs exclusively at the distal position of the alkene. This method generates γ-alkynyl alcohol oximes directly from internal alkenes and terminal alkynes. The oxime group can be readily removed to afford a free alcohol, thus providing an indirect route for the catalytic hydroalkynylation of allylic alcohols.

A gold(I)-catalyzed enantioselective thioallylation of propiolates with allyl sulfides is described. The key mechanistic element is a sulfonium-induced Claisen rearrangement which helps minimize the allyl dissociation and render higher enantioselectivity. This protocol features remarkable scope of the allyl moiety, allowing enantiocontrolled synthesis of all-carbon quaternary centers, and exhibits exceptional functional group compatibility with many Lewis bases and π-bonds. This intermolecular variant of Claisen rearrangement forges both C-S and C-C bonds concomitantly, providing efficient access to interesting optically active organosulfur compounds which can be transformed further through the vinyl sulfide as a functional handle. The rate of the reaction was zeroth order with respect to allyl sulfides, which suggested a reversible inhibition, providing a resting state for the catalyst. The Hammett plot displayed a correlation with σp values, suggesting a turnover-limiting sigmatropic rearrangement where decreased electron-density on sulfur accelerated the rearrangement.
Total Synthesis of Ovafolinins A and B: Unique Polycyclic Benzoxepin Lignans through a Cascade Cyclization
Davidson, Samuel J.,Barker, David
, p. 9483 - 9486 (2017/08/01)
Ovafolinins A and B, isolated from Lyonia ovalifolia var. elliptica, are lignans that contain a unique bridged structure containing a penta- and tetracyclic benzoxepin and an aryl tetralin. We report the first total synthesis of these natural products in which an acyl-Claisen rearrangement was initially utilized to construct the lignan backbone with correct relative stereochemistry. Judicious use of a bulky protecting group placed reactive moieties in the correct orientation, thereby resulting in a cascade reaction to form the bridged benzoxepin/aryl tetralin from a linear precursor in a single step. Modification of this route allowed the enantioselective synthesis of (+)-ovafolinins A and B, which confirmed the absolute stereochemistry, and comparison of optical rotation suggests that these compounds are found as scalemic mixtures in nature.
