Gold-Catalyzed [4+2]- and [3+3]-Annulations of Ynamides with 1-Yn-3-ols to Access Six-Membered Carbocycles and Oxacycles via Three Distinct Cyclizations

摘要

Three distinct strategies for catalytic annulations between ynamides and 1-yn-3-ols are described; the resulting carbo-and heterocycles were produced efficiently in one-pot operations using a gold catalyst. The chemoselectivities of these annulations are controlled by variations of the substituents of the ynamides and the 1-yn-3-ols. This reaction sequence involves initial alkoxylations of ynamides, followed by Claisen rearrangement of propargylic enol ethers, and ends with 6-endo-trig cyclizations of 1-allenyl-5-amide intermediates. Among these cascade annulations, the cyclizations of 5-allenyl-1-amides to yield 5,6-dihydro-2-pyranones and 6-alkylenecyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxamides are unprecedented in the literature.
