Phosphine-Catalyzed Intramolecular Vinylogous Aldol Reaction of α‑Substituted Enones

We demonstrate the first phosphine-catalyzed intramolecular vinylogous aldol reaction (IVAR) of α-substituted enones. This strategy provides access to various pentannulated (hetero)­arenes and dibenzocycloheptanones incorporated with two contiguous stereocenters, one of which is an all-carbon quater...

Description
Summary:We demonstrate the first phosphine-catalyzed intramolecular vinylogous aldol reaction (IVAR) of α-substituted enones. This strategy provides access to various pentannulated (hetero)­arenes and dibenzocycloheptanones incorporated with two contiguous stereocenters, one of which is an all-carbon quaternary center. The scope of this work is further broadened through elaborations of the IVAR adducts to (i) benzannulated nine-membered carbocyclic systems, (ii) interesting classes of 1,3-dienes, 1,3,5-trienes, and 1-yn-3,5-dienes, and (iii) the analogs of echinolactone D and russujaponol F.
