Abstract
An intramolecular asymmetric allylic O-alkylation/allylic dearomative spirocyclization cascade has been successfully developed with allyl aryl ethers. In the presence of palladium and a phosphoramidite ligand, a series of spirocyclohexadienones with an exocyclic double bond were obtained in up to 98% yield with 98% ee. The asymmetric allylic alkylation mechanism was elucidated through control experiments. In addition, scale-up of the reaction and further transformations of the spirocyclic products were also performed, demonstrating the potential application of this method.
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.
