چکیده
The first catalytic method for the cyclization of vinyl-cyclopropyl ketones (formal homo-Nazarov reaction) is reported. Starting from activated cyclopropanes, heterocyclic, and carbocyclic compounds were obtained under mild conditions using Brønsted acid catalysts. Preliminary investigation of the reaction mechanism indicated a stepwise process.

Formal homo-Nazarov and other cyclization reactions of activated cyclopropanes.
The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones gives access to cyclopentenones. Replacing one of the vinyl groups by a cyclopropane leads to a formal homo-Nazarov process for the synthesis of cyclohexenones. In contrast to the Nazarov reaction, the cyclization of vinyl-cyclopropyl ketones is a stepwise process, often requiring harsh conditions. Herein, we describe two different approaches for furth...

The continuous progress in medicinal chemistry requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of large libraries of active compounds and their analogues. As a result, the research for new effective cyclization and cycloaddition reactions is an essential task in organic chemistry. In 2008 we developed the first catalytic formal homo-Nazarov reaction starting from activated cycl...

متن کاملA mild, catalytic and efficient Nazarov cyclization mediated by phosphomolybdic acid.
A mild, selective and efficient Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones catalyzed by phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) is described. The process demonstrates a broad substrate scope with functional group tolerance under short reaction times. PMA supported on silica gel is more efficient than the bulk catalyst and is recycled up to three times without significant activity loss.
متن کاملFormal [4 + 1] Cycloadditions of β,β-Diaryl-Substituted ortho-(Alkynyl)styrenes through Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization Reactions.
Gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of β,β-diaryl-o-(alkynyl)styrenes at 80 °C selectively yields dihydroindeno[2,1-a]indenes in a transformation that encompasses a formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition and takes place through a cascade 5-endo-cyclization-diene activation-iso-Nazarov cyclization. In addition, by performing the reaction at 0 °C, the same substrates exclusively give rise to benzofulvene ...
