Abstract

The rearrangement reaction of α,β-epoxy acylates in cyclic systems was studied. The treatment of cis-derivatives with a Lewis acid afforded rearranged products via the regioselective β-cleavage of the oxirane ring due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the acyloxy group, whereas trans-derivatives enhanced the neighboring group participation to yield only a small amount of rearranged products. This rearrangement reaction proved to be useful for the construction of a variety of spirocyclane systems or quaternary carbon centers on rings and could be applied to their syntheses as optically active forms.

  Abstract: Although nitrogen-containing group-directed cyclopalladation reactions have been well-known, Pd(II) insertion into C−H bonds promoted by coordination of an oxygen-only group to the palladium remains rather rare. In the present study, the first ...
