Nazarov cyclization of 4-cycloalkylidene-5-(trimethylsilyl)pent-1-en-3-onederivatives. Synthesis of spiro[4.5]decane, spiro[4.4]nonane, and their derivatives
C. Kuroda et al., Nazarov cyclization of 4-cycloalkylidene-5-(trimethylsilyl)pent-1-en-3-onederivatives. Synthesis of spiro[4.5]decane, spiro[4.4]nonane, and their derivatives, TETRAHEDRON, 56(35), 2000, pp. 6441-6455
ASpiro[4.5]decane and spiro[4.4]nonane ring systems were synthesized by FeC
l3-induced Nazarov cyclization of alpha-(trimethylsilylmethyl)divinyl keton
e derivatives. It was found that the double bond position of the product is
controlled by the presence/absence of alpha'-substituent, while trimethyls
ilyl group is essential to obtain the products in good yields. Spiro[4.4]no
nanes having exo-methylene group underwent rearrangement to bicyclo[4.3.0]n
