Iron(III)‐Catalyzed Cyclization of Alkynyl Aldehyde Acetals: Experimental and Computational Studies

Abstract: DNA and RNA analysis is of high importance for clinical diagnoses, forensic analysis, and basic studies in the biological and biomedical fields. In this paper, we report the ultrahighly sensitive homogeneous detection of DNA and microRNA by using a novel single-silver-nanoparticle counting (SSNPC) technique. The principle of SSNPC is based on the photon-burst counting of single silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in a highly focused laser beam (about 0.5 fL detection volume) due to Brownian motion and the strong res… Show more

“…O ‐Tethered diyne 1 b reacted with acetal 2 b and FeCl 3 to generate 3 h in 41 % yield (Table 2, entry 8). Unexpectedly, the reaction of C ‐tethered diyne 1 c with acetal 2 a in the presence of FeCl 3 formed the desired product 3 i (25 %) as only the minor product, while alkynyl enone 4 (60 %) was the major product (Table 2, entry 9), which suggests that one of the alkynyl moieties underwent intramolecular cyclization with 2 a 13b. These results suggest that the tethering heteroatoms may stabilize a cationic intermediate during the reaction 14.…”

“…Recently, iron catalysis has emerged as a promising, environmentally benign alternative to traditional transition‐metal catalysis due to the many advantages of utilizing iron‐catalyst precursors, such as low cost, nontoxicity, good stability, and straightforward methods of handling 10–12. Very recently, we discovered that FeCl 3 and FeCl 3 ⋅ 6H 2 O can efficiently promote the intramolecular cyclization of monoalkynyl aldehyde acetals to generate solvent‐dependent Prins‐type products13a and α,β‐unsaturated cyclic ketones,13b respectively (Scheme ). Herein, we report the FeCl 3 ‐ and FeBr 3 ‐mediated tandem cyclization of simple diynes with benzaldehyde acetals for the synthesis of highly functionalized indenes.…”

“…In addition, FeX 3 and other Lewis acid‐promoted carbon–carbon bond‐forming cyclizations of alkenyl and allenyl acetals have been frequently reported 15. In 2009, Yu and co‐workers15d, e discovered that intramolecular alkynyl acetal derivatives could be transformed into various cyclopentanes, tetrahydropyrans, and tetrahydropyrroles in the presence of FeX 3 (Scheme B). Intrigued by the versatile interactions of Lewis acids with acetals, we envisaged that a highly strained methylenecyclopropane (MCP) carbocation might be generated from a Prins cyclization of acetal–VDCPs catalyzed by Fe III .…”

“…[12] Strategies based on the cyclization of acyclic dienynes, mediated [13a] or catalyzed [13b] by metal carbenes, have also been reported (Scheme 1, paths d and e). [16,17] Herein we report its use in tandem with a Nazarov cyclization [7b, 18] to construct hydroazulenone skeletons 2 from enyne acetals 1 [19] (Scheme 1). [16,17] Herein we report its use in tandem with a Nazarov cyclization [7b, 18] to construct hydroazulenone skeletons 2 from enyne acetals 1 [19] (Scheme 1).…”

“…[14] As a contribution to the development of metal-free, environmentally less hazardous synthetic methods, [15] we recently described an efficient intramolecular cyclization of alkynals promoted by Brønsted acids. [16,17] Herein we report its use in tandem with a Nazarov cyclization [7b, 18] to construct hydroazulenone skeletons 2 from enyne acetals 1 [19] (Scheme 1). [20] Initially, we subjected enyne acetal 1 a (Table 1), to the optimized reaction conditions identified in our previous work (heating in DCE in the presence of excess trifluoroacetic acid).…”
