A diastereoselective
Co2(CO)8-mediated Pauson–Khand reaction
(PKR) of siloxy-tethered 1,7-enynes for the synthesis of cyclopentaoxasilinones
has been developed. This transformation can be performed on a multigram
scale and is characterized by a broad substrate scope, functional
group compatibility, and high chemo- and diastereoselectivity. Oxidation
of the resulting cyclopentaoxasilinones delivers stereoenriched
β-alkylated cyclopentenones, which are inaccessible by intermolecular
PKRs. This research provides a practical solution to the challenges
associated with the classical intermolecular PKR.

B. 1,7-Siloxy-Tethered Enynes
General Procedure 1: 1,7-Siloxy-Tethered Enyne SynthesisA flame dried round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir-bar was sequentially charged with dry CH 2 Cl 2 (0.5 M with respect to the propargyl alcohol), allyldiisopropylchlorosilane S21 29 (1.2 equiv), DMAP (0.2 equiv), and NEt 3 (2.0 equiv) under an inert atmosphere (N 2 ). The reaction mixture was cooled to 0 °C. In a separate flame-dried pear-shaped flask, the propargyl alcohol (S1 -S20 and S23 -S25; 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in CH 2 Cl 2 (1.0 M) and added dropwise to the 0 °C reaction mixture via syringe. This was followed by rinsing the pear-shaped flask with an additional portion of CH 2 Cl 2 (0.3 mL). The cooling bath was removed, and the reaction mixture allowed to stir at room temperature (25 o C) for 18 h. Upon consumption of the propargyl alcohol, as noted by TLC analysis, the reaction mixture was quenched with sat. aq. NH 4 Cl. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (3x 20 mL), and the combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried with MgSO 4 , filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography (hexanes -0.25% Et 2 O/hexanes) yielded enynes 1a-j and 5a-k as colorless oils.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
