A novel rhodium(II)-catalyzed tandem cycloisomerization of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) with N-sulfonyl 1,2,3-triazoles is disclosed. The reaction produces a series of highly functionalized polycyclic N heterocycles via a rhodium imino carbene intermediate. A distinct feature of this divergent synthesis is that different types of substrates control the reaction pathways. Moreover, several interesting transformations of these products to construct diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivatives are also reported.

Rhodium(II)‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Cycloisomerizations of Methylenecyclopropanes with N‐Sulfonyl 1,2,3‐Triazoles

Cu-TolBINAP-catalyzed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to 4-chloro-α,β-unsaturated esters, thioesters, and ketones leads to 4-chloro-3-alkyl-substituted thioesters and ketones in up to 84% yield and up to 96% ee upon protonation of the corresponding enolates at low temperature. Tandem conjugate addition-enolate trapping, however, yields trans-1-alkyl-2-substituted cyclopropanes in up to 92% yield and up to 98% ee. The versatility of this reaction is illustrated by the formation of key intermediates for the formal syntheses of cascarillic acid and grenadamide.

Thermally induced [3+2] cyclization of aniline-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes: a facile synthetic protocol of pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles

A facile synthetic method for preparation of bicyclo[4.2.0] nitrogen heterocycles has been developed via a thermal induced intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of allene-ACPs. The DFT calculations indicate that this intramolecular cycloaddition proceeds in a concerted manner and a strained small ring is essential.

Palladium(0)‐Catalyzed Reaction of Cyclopropylidenecycloalkanes with Carbon Dioxide

A novel way of combining chiral auxiliaries and substrate directable reactions is described that employs a three-step sequence of aldol/cyclopropanation/retro-aldol reactions for the asymmetric synthesis of enantiopure cyclopropane-carboxaldehydes. In the first step, reaction of the boron enolate of (S)-N-propionyl-5,5-dimethyl-oxazolidin-2-one with a series of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes affords their corresponding syn-aldol products in high de. In the second step, directed cyclopropanation of the alkene functionalities of these syn-aldols occurs under the stereodirecting effect of their ‘temporary’β-hydroxyl stereocentres to give a series of cyclopropyl-aldols in high de. Finally, retro-aldol cleavage of the lithium alkoxide of these cyclopropyl-aldols results in destruction of their temporary β-hydroxy stereocentres to afford the parent chiral auxiliary and chiral cyclopropane-carboxaldehydes in >95% ee. The potential of this methodology has been demonstrated for the asymmetric synthesis of the cyclopropane containing natural product cascarillic acid in good yield.
