Abstract
The bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane scaffold is frequently found in a wide range of bioactive molecules and plays a pivotal role in constructing key modules of these compounds. In this study, we present a strategy for the synthesis of bicyclo[3.2.0]heptanes using a copper/BINAP complex to facilitate an intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition under visible light irradiation. This methodology offers several advantages, including the use of a cost-effective copper catalyst and the ability to achieve high yields (up to 98%) and diastereoselectivity (>20:1 dr). Our approach provides an efficient strategy for constructing the bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane framework.
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.
