(Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium dichloride dimer {[IrCp*Cl 2]2}-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of bis-homopropargylic alcohols provides an efficient access to dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]ketals. The cycloisomerizations proceed under mild conditions, with low catalytic loadings and short reaction times. This new protocol involving an Ir(III) catalyst also promoted the cycloisomerization of nitrogen-tethered 1,6-enynes to give azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes, enhancing the synthetic potential of our method.

Abstract
(Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium dichloride dimer {[IrCp*Cl 2]2}-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of bis-homopropargylic alcohols provides an efficient access to dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]ketals. The cycloisomerizations proceed under mild conditions, with low catalytic loadings and short reaction times. This new protocol involving an Ir(III) catalyst also promoted the cycloisomerization of nitrogen-tethered 1,6-enynes to give azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes, enhancing the synthetic potential of our method.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
