Abstract: | Mn(III)-based oxidative free-radical cyclization of unsaturated ketones is a versatile synthetic procedure with broad applicability. For example, oxidation of cyclopentanone 1a with 2 equiv of Mn(OAc)(3).2H(2)O and 1 equiv of Cu(OAc)(2).H(2)O in AcOH at 80 degrees C for 1.5 h affords 75% of bicyclo3.2.1]oct-3-en-8-one 8a and 15% of bicyclo3.2.1]oct-2-en-8-one 9a. Bridged bicyclic ketones that cannot enolize further are isolated in good yield. Monocyclic beta,gamma-unsaturated ketones that can enolize are oxidized further to give gamma-acetoxy enones. The formation of bicyclo3.3.1]non-2-en-9-one (57a) in 52% yield from 2-allylcyclohexanone (56a) suggests that kinetically controlled enolization is the rate-determining step in alpha-keto radical formation. A wide variety of examples delineating the scope, limitations, and stereoselectivity of this reaction are presented. |
