Abstract: | A reaction cascade comprising a rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation, a subsequent hydrometalation of an alkylidene cyclopropane in vicinity, regioselective C-C bond activation of the flanking cyclopropane ring, followed by reductive elimination of the resulting metallacycle, opens a new entry into functionalized cycloheptene derivatives. This crossover of C-H activation and higher order cycloaddition has been performed in two different formats, either using alkylidenecyclopropanes with a lateral vinylpyridine moiety or with a pending aldehyde group as the trigger. The reaction tolerates various functional groups, leaves chiral centers alpha to the reacting sites unaffected, and proceeds with excellent stereoselectivity. Labeling experiments support the proposed mechanism explaining the observed net cycloisomerization process. |
