Formal Lossen Rearrangement/[3+2] Annulation Cascade Catalyzed by a Modified Cyclopentadienyl RhIII Complex

Abstract: It has been established that a cyclopentadienyl Rh complex with two phenyl groups and a pendant amide moiety catalyzes the formal Lossen rearrangement/[3+2] annulation cascade of N-pivaloyl benzamides and acrylamides with alkynes leading to substituted indoles and pyrroles. Mechanistic studies revealed that this cascade reaction proceeds via not the Lossen rearrangement to form anilides or enamides but C-H bond cleavage, alkyne insertion, and the formal Lossen rearrangement.

“…Among secondary and primary carbamoyl groups tested, Cp A1 that possesses the highly acidic N−H group showed the highest catalytic activity (entry 1). Among the tertiary carbamoyl groups that were the effective catalysts for the formal Lossen rearrangement/[3+2] annulation of N ‐pivaloyl benzamides with alkynes, increasing the coordination ability increased the catalytic activity (entry 4 vs. 5), while the product yield did not exceed that using the Cp A1 ligand (entry 1). A newly synthesized Cp A6 Rh III complex bearing a less coordinating N , N ‐diphenylcarbamoyl group, which was prepared via the previously reported [2+2+1] cycloaddition of 1,6‐diyne 4 a with cyclopropylideneacetamide 5 a giving fulvenes 6 aa (Scheme ) followed by its reductive complexation with RhCl 3 (Scheme ), indeed decreased the yield of 3 aa (entry 6).…”

“…The incorporation of substituents on the Cp ring allows both electronic and steric perturbation on the Cp metal complexes [49][50][51]. Well-modified Cp ligands have been used to improve the potential catalytic activity and reaction selectivity of transition metal complexes [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Thus, a systematic study of the modified Cp-ligated iridium complex should provide significant insight for the development of a more active catalytic system for acceptorless dehydrogenation reactions.…”
