The site-selective a-allylic alkylation of enones with alcohols via gold-triggered formation of nucleophilic allenoates by means of [3,3]-sigma- tropic rearrangements of propargylic carboxylates is reported. A range of a-alkylated enones is obtained in high yields in the presence of the gold complex [JohnPhosAu(ACN)]SbF6 (2 mol%) as the promot- ing agent. Examples of allylation/Friedel–Crafts al- kylation sequences are also provided, delivering densely functionalized dihydroindenes and dihydro- benzo[7]annulenes in a one-pot procedure in mod- erate yields. The role of the Brønsted acidity (i.e., pivalic acid) delivered during the reaction course in assisting the formation of carbocationic intermedi- ates is documented.

Abstract: | The site-selective a-allylic alkylation of enones with alcohols via gold-triggered formation of nucleophilic allenoates by means of [3,3]-sigma- tropic rearrangements of propargylic carboxylates is reported. A range of a-alkylated enones is obtained in high yields in the presence of the gold complex [JohnPhosAu(ACN)]SbF6 (2 mol%) as the promot- ing agent. Examples of allylation/Friedel–Crafts al- kylation sequences are also provided, delivering densely functionalized dihydroindenes and dihydro- benzo[7]annulenes in a one-pot procedure in mod- erate yields. The role of the Brønsted acidity (i.e., pivalic acid) delivered during the reaction course in assisting the formation of carbocationic intermedi- ates is documented. |
