Abstract
A novel procedure for the synthesis of spiro[4.5]decan-1-ones starting from commercially available substances is described. The key-step is a one-pot combination of Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers f ollowed by an. intramolecular hydroacylation(1) catalysed by RhCl(cod) (dppe).(2) The intermediate pent-4-enals generated by the initial [3.3 ] sigmatropic rearrangement exhibit substitution patterns which have p reviously been described as unsuitable for the rhodium catalysed intra molecular hydroacylation.(3,4) This procedure allows the synthesis of ketone 2, a key intermediate in the total synthesis of acoradienes and acorones.(5)
