1,2‐Alkyl Migration as a Key Element in the Invention of Cascade Reactions Catalyzed by π‐Acids

Abstract: This brief overview highlights recent progress in the field of cascade reactions that are initiated by the activation of a pi-system using platinum and gold catalysts and that are coupled with a 1,2-alkyl migration step. While the reactions discussed aim to rapidly evolve molecular complexity, they are experimentally straightforward and easy to perform. Primarily guided by the type of 1,2-alkyl migration, methods are categorized as shifts to metal carbenoid centers and pinacol-type rearrangements.

“…54 Among these transformations, transition-metal induced cyclizations are generally applied to give cationic intermediates, which are terminated by subsequent semipinacol rearrangements. This type of reaction possesses the following features: (1) The hydroxyl group is always protected as silyl ether to prevent competitive heterocyclization.…”

“…[25] In these reactions, geminal carbo-functionalization through initial 5-exo cyclization gave a bicyclic carbene complex such as I, which underwent 1,2-alkyl migration of the benzylic carbon to give the product with regeneration of the catalyst. [26] During these studies, we thought of the possibility-based on previous experimental results [27] -of geminal carbo-functionalization through initial 6-endo cyclization in the presence of tungsten catalyst. Surprisingly, treatment of 11 a with [ReCl(CO) 5 ] (10 mol %) gave a 78 % yield of the tricyclic compounds 13 a and 14 a (Table 10), produced by insertion of the carbene complex moiety into the neighboring C À H bonds in the carbene complex intermediate generated by 5-exo cyclization.…”

“…[3] One of the most interesting features is the ability to act as a mild, relatively carbophilic π Lewis acid. [4] π Bonds activated by gold can undergo a variety of reactions such as the addition of nucleophiles, migration of propargyl and other esters, 1,2 migrations, [5] or cyclo isomerizations of enynes for example. [6] Redox reactions under homogeneous conditions are less frequently disclosed compared to the vast number of Au cata lyzed reactions.…”
