Formation of β-Oxo-N-vinylimidates via Intermolecular Ester Incorporation in Huisgen Cyclization/Carbene Cascade Reactions
2020
Wang, Qinxuan | May, Jeremy A.
Unusual intermolecular trapping of esters by carbenes generated via a Huisgen cyclization/retroelectrocyclization/dediazotization cascade reaction is presented. β-Oxo-N-vinylimidates could be obtained in one step from propargyl carbonazidates. Mechanistic control experiments suggested reversible dipole formation by ester addition to the carbene, and nitrogen attack to the ester carbonyl was irreversibly followed by stereoselective decarboxylative elimination to give the Z-vinyl imidate. The cross-conjugated enone, imidate, and enamine functional groups in the β-oxo-N-vinylimidates offer novel syntheses of functionalized oxazoles.
