Article Abstract
Multisubstituted cyclopentenones and 1,4-diketones are valuable chemicals for synthesizing biologically relevant compounds. We established the Rh(III)-catalyzed divergent synthesis of multisubstituted cyclopentenones and 1,4-diketones from quinoline-8-carbaldehydes and cyclopropanols. Switchable product selectivity was achieved using different cyclopropyl alcohols under the optimized reaction conditions. Multisubstituted cyclopentenones were obtained through aldehydic C-H activation, C-C bond cleavage of 1-benzyl-substituted cyclopropyl alcohols, and subsequent intramolecular cyclizations. Notably, 1-phenethyl-, 1-aryl-, and 1-alkyl-substituted cyclopropyl alcohols function as alkylating agents, affording 1,4-diketones via aldehydic C-H activation.

Herein, we reported a Ni-catalyzed carbonylation of cyclopropanol with benzyl bromide to afford multisubstituted cyclopentenone under 1 atm of CO. The reaction proceeds through cascade carbonylation of benzyl bromides, followed by generation of nickel homoenolate from cyclopropanols via β-C elimination to afford 1,4-diketones, which undergoes intramolecular Aldol condensation to furnish highly substituted cyclopentenone derivatives in moderate to good yields. The reaction exhibits high functional group tolerance with broad substrate scope.

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of cyclopentenones based on a three-component reaction of acrylic acids, formaldehyde, and malonates via vinylic C-H activation is reported. Exploratory studies showed that 5-alkylation of as-prepared cyclopentenones could be realized smoothly by the treatment of a variety of alkyl halides with a NaCO/MeOH solution. Excess formaldehyde and malonate led to a multicomponent reaction that afforded the multisubstituted cyclopentenones through a Michael addition.

The first catalytic asymmetric Piancatelli reaction is reported. Catalyzed by a chiral Brønsted acid, the rearrangement of a wide range of furylcarbinols with a series of aniline derivatives provides valuable aminocyclopentenones in high yields as well as excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities. The high value of the aza-Piancatelli rearrangement was demonstrated by the synthesis of a cyclopentane-based hNK1 antagonist analogue.
