Ruthenium(0) Catalyzed Endiyne−α-Ketol [4 + 2] Cycloaddition: Convergent Assembly of Type II Polyketide Substructures via C–C Bond Forming Transfer Hydrogenation
Abstract
Upon exposure of 3,4-benzannulated 1,5-diynes (benzo-endiynes) to α-ketols (α-hydroxyketones) in the presence of Ru(0) catalysts derived from Ru<sub>3</sub>(CO)<sub>12</sub> and RuPhos or CyJohnPhos, successive redox-triggered C–C coupling occurs to generate products of [4 + 2] cycloaddition. The proposed catalytic mechanism involves consecutive alkyne-carbonyl oxidative couplings to form transient oxaruthanacycles that suffer α-ketol mediated transfer hydrogenolysis. This process provides a new, convergent means of assembling Type II polyketide substructures- Dataset
