Generation of Cycloalkylidene Carbenes via Exo-Type Cyclization of Alkynyllithiums Bearing Remote Leaving Group

Abstract: The reaction of 5-hexynyl tosylate (3a) with alkynyllithium (RC⋮CLi; R = Ph, TMS) gives enynes 5 and 6. The reaction proceeds through a mechanism involving a novel exo-type cyclization of 6-lithio-5-hexynyl tosylate to form cyclopentylidene carbene. Enyne 6 is produced by the addition of RC⋮CLi to the carbene, whereas rearrangement of the carbene to cyclohexyne followed by carbolithiation with RC⋮CLi gives enyne 5. The formation of cyclopentylidene carbene and cyclohexyne as intermediates is clearly demonstrat… Show more

“…Inspired by the work of Harada and co‐workers, who could cyclize a variety of hexynyl tosylates, such as 1 a , via the corresponding lithium acetylides,6a we used 1 a as a test system for a possible gold‐catalyzed process. As mentioned earlier, only the σ‐activation should be addressed by the gold catalyst; therefore, we used gold propyne acetylides as precursors that do not form cationic gold complexes.…”

“…Angeregt durch die Arbeiten von Haradas Gruppe, die verschiedene Hexinyltosylate wie 1 a über die jeweiligen Lithiumacetylide cyclisieren konnte,6a nutzten wir 1 a als Testsystem für eine mögliche Goldkatalyse. Wie zuvor erwähnt, sollte nur die σ‐Aktivierung durch den Goldkatalysator adressiert werden; daher verwendeten wir Propinylgoldacetylide als Vorstufen ohne kationischen Teil.…”
