Diels-Alder reactions for the construction of cyclopropylarenes
The straightforward synthesis of new bicyclopropyl-substituted alkynes and 1,3-dienes and their application in cobalt-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions are described. The cycloaddition processes generated the desired bicyclopropyl-substituted arene derivatives in moderate to good yields, depending on the steric congestion of the reaction partners. The regioselectivity of the cycloaddition was controlled by the ligand coordinated to the cobalt center. The cyclopropyl moiety remained unchanged over the course of the Diels-Alder reaction, indicating that no radical type intermediates were formed. Only in a single case did the DDQ oxidation of the primarily formed dihydroaromatic product lead to ring opening of a cyclopropyl subunit. In all of the other cases, cyclopropyl-modified arenes with various functionalities were obtained. Copyright
