- ., cyclopentenone 239) with alkynes in the presence of nickel and aluminum complexes [108]. This [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition run with a high regioselectivity and led mostly to meta isomers. The authors used, as catalytic systems, the following complexes: Ni(acac)2, Ni(cod)2, Me3Al, Me2Al(OPh), MeAl(OPh)2 and Al(OPh)3
- et al. have further expanded the scope of this reaction on several other substrates which are active in the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition [120]. For example, the triyn 322 under hexadehydro-Diels–Alder (HDDA) conditions gave the corresponding 1-indanone 323 in 80% yield (Scheme 89). 3.2 From furans Van

- two important factors to consider when putting together such a mechanism: coordination of the propargyl alcohol on the metal center and facial selectivity for the [2 + 2] cycloaddition. We will look at each in turn. First, coordination by the propargyl alcohol creates four possible diastereomeric
- for either coordination mode, which leads to poorer enantioselectivities in THF (Table 8, entry 6). We propose that acetone, being more Lewis basic than THF, has the effect of epimerizing the chiral-at-ruthenium intermediates formed prior to [2 + 2] cycloaddition. The rate of epimerization is much
- faster than the [2 + 2] cycloaddition, creating a classic Curtin–Hammitt scenario wherein all of the substrate is funneled into the observed enantiomer of product (Scheme 8). Rate k1 is much slower than k2 due to the severe steric hindrance imposed by the ligated chiral sulfoxide, which block alkene

Results and Discussion In connection with our interest to prepare annulated PCUD, we proposed various dialkylated pentacyclic diones such as 1,9-dialkylpentacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9]undeca-8,11-dione 12 by using [4 + 2] and [2 + 2
- ] cycloaddition strategies, which involve the DA reaction of 2,5-dialkyl-1,4-benzoquinone 10 and 1,3-cyclopentadiene (9) followed by the formation of the cyclobutane ring through a [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction (Figure 2). Later on, one can introduce two allyl groups by using traditional carbonyl chemistry

- trimers using Co2(CO)8-catalyzed terminal alkyne [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is reported. The trimers consist of three triphenylene discotic units linked to a central 1,2,4-trisubstituted benzene ring via flexible spacers. The trimers were synthesized in the yields up to 70% by mixing the monomers
- synthesis of discotic oligomers [46][47][48][49][50]. The transition metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of three alkynes for the synthesis of polysubstituted benzene derivatives was studied due to its high efficiency and atomic efficiency [51]. The use of Co2(CO)8 as a catalyst has been extensively
- applied to the synthesis of hexabenzocoronene DLCs through diarylethyne cyclotrimerization [51]. In this paper, we report four star-shaped DLC trimers with triphenylene discotic units by using a Co2(CO)8-catalyzed terminal alkynes [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition, and the trimers exhibit ordered rectangular

- last years to the development of enantioselective versions of these processes by using chiral gold catalysts. In this section, we highlight the most important developments in this area. In 2007, Toste and coworkers described an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of allenenes by using gold catalysts
- catalyst provides a gold–allyl cationic species of type IX, which is the species undergoing the cycloaddition process with the diene [73]. Simple alkenes do also react with gold-activated allenamides to provide cyclobutane products, formally resulting from a [2 + 2] cycloaddition. Thus, independent
