Metal-Catalyzed Heterocyclization of Allenes Chris M. Yates
What Makes an Allene an Interesting Substrate? • Entrance into large number of highly functionalized heterocycles • Cyclization products retain an olefin that can be further manipulated • Cyclization products can be varied by changing metal and or reaction conditions • Many intramolecular heterocyclizations can be done with high diastereoselectivity • Reactions can be catalyzed by Silver, Palladium, Lanthanides, Cobalt, Ruthenium, Iron, and Gold
Discovery of Metal-Catalyzed Cyclization • First discovered by Alf Claesson and co-workers when attempting to purify allenic amines by GLC at 210 °C • Noticed complete conversion of allenic amine 1 into two new compounds, 2 and 3 • Lead to the discovery of a metal-catalyzed cyclization using Silver (I) Claesson, A.; Sahlberg, C.; Luthman, K. Acta Chem. Scand.1979, B33, 309-310.

Pd(II)-Catalyzed Cyclization • All Ag(I) cyclizations are limited to cycloisomerization • Pd(II) allows for further functional group incorporation • Can achieve arylations, vinylations, and allylations of cyclization products • Can achieve CO insertion to obtain ketones and acrylates
Palladium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroamination of Allenes • Cyclization is achieved with catalytic Pd(II) and 1 equivalent of acetic acid • This method can also be applied to six member [(η3-C3H5)PdCl]2 (5 mol %) dppf (10 mol %) acetic acid (1 equiv) dppf = 1,1’-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene [(η3-C3H5)PdCl]2 (5 mol %) dppf (10 mol %) acetic acid (15 mol %) Meguro, M.; Yamamoto, Y.

Six-Membered Ring? • Since α-amino allenes give lead to five-member endo-cyclization products, do β-amino allenes give six-member endo-cyclization? No! • Scope of reaction: reaction also works in presence of allylating agents Karstens, W. F. J.; Rutjes, F. P. J. T.; Hiemstra, H. Tetrahedron Lett.1997, 38, 6275-6278.
