Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Oxidative Transformations of Terminal Alkynes to Ketenes By Using Tethered Sulfoxides: Access to β‐Lactams and Cyclobutanones

Abstract: The oxidation of in situ generated Ru vinylidenes to ketenes is realized with tethered sulfoxides. The result is a Rucatalyzed oxidative transformation of terminal alkynes to highly valuable ketenes. Moreover, the ketenes generated here were shown to undergo characteristic ketene [2+2] cycloaddition reactions with tethered alkenes and external imines, yielding synthetically versatile bicyclic cyclobutanones and blactams, respectively. Scheme 1. Ru-catalyzed oxidation of a terminal alkyne to a ketene and subseq… Show more

“…The reaction proceeds via the generation of rhodium ketene species directly from terminal alkynes by oxidation of vinylidene rhodium species 3. Similarly there are several reports from other groups for the ruthenium‐catalyzed oxidation of terminal alkynes to ketenes, for example, with flexibly tethered sulfoxides as internal oxidants and their reactions with imines 4. There are almost no reports in the literature on the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of terminal alkynes and imines via in situ generation of allene type intermediates.…”

“…Cyclobutane derivatives are the important intermediates for the synthesis of natural products and drugs . In the past few decades, [2 + 2] cycloadditions promoted by various methods have been developed to access cyclobutane derivatives such as photocatalysis, acid catalysis, and transition metal catalysis . Despite progress, the practical and efficient methods are limited.…”
