Abstract
Instead of the conventional [4+2] cycloaddition, a regioselective Schmittel-type [2+2] cycloaddition of yne–allene esters, generated in situ from copper-catalyzed dediazotized coupling of γ-alkynyl diazoacetates with terminal alkynes, is reported, enabling a bicyclization process to produce a diverse array of C1-arylated cyclobuta[a]indenes in moderate to good yields. The protocol features wide functional group compatibility, mild reaction conditions, and experimental simplicity, holding significant potential for building new tricyclic cyclobutenes.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
