Pd-Catalyzed [2+2+1] coupling of alkynes and arenes phenol diazonium salts as mechanistic trapdoors
(2011)
Alkynes and phenol diazonium salts undergo a Pd-catalyzed [2+2+1] cyclization reaction to spiro[4,5]decatetraene-7-ones. This structure was confirmed for one example by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. The reaction is believed to proceed through oxidative addition of the phenol diazonium cation to Pd(0), subsequent insertion of two alkynes, followed by irreversible spirocyclization.
para-Substituted aryl prenyl ethers undergo a deprenylation reaction upon microwave irradiation. This offers the opportunity to use a prenyl ether as a thermolabile protecting group in the synthesis of natural products with a chromone structure, which proceeds via a tandem deprenylation/6-endo-cyclization sequence.
