Cascade cyclizations and couplings involving nickel enolates.

A new strategy for effecting cascade cyclization processes using nickel enolates has been developed. Nickel enolates may be cleanly generated by the oxidative cyclization of an enal and alkyne with Ni(0), and the resulting enolate may be functionalized by a variety of alkylation processes. Partially and fully intramolecular versions of the process allow the rapid synthesis of complex polycyclics from simple achiral, acyclic precursors.

First total synthesis and stereochemical definition of isodomoic acid G.

[structure: see text] The first total synthesis and stereochemical definition of isodomoic acid G has been achieved. The key nickel-catalyzed coupling of an alkynyl enone with an alkenylzirconium allows formation of the pyrrolidine ring and most of the stereochemical features in a single step. This report provides the first total synthesis application of this new reaction and illustrates its utility in the stereoselective preparation of highly substituted 1,3-dienes.

Nickel-catalyzed cyclizations and couplings with vinylzirconium reagents.

[reaction: see text] 1,3-Dienes were prepared by a variety of nickel-catalyzed couplings and cyclization processes. Intermolecular or partially intramolecular couplings of alkynes, vinylzirconium reagents, and either aldehydes or enones efficiently proceeded to generate a broad range of functionalized dienes.

A new two-step four-component synthesis of highly functionalized cyclohexenols by sequential nickel-catalyzed couplings.

A new two-step procedure for the synthesis of cyclohexenols has been developed. A nickel-catalyzed three-component addition of an enal, alkyne, and acetylenic tin affords substituted hept-4-en-6-ynals. The products of this first step then undergo a second nickel-catalyzed reaction with organozincs or organoboranes to afford densely functionalized cyclohexenols. Variation in each of the four components is tolerated to provide access to a wide range of versatile building blocks.

A new entry to the isogeissoschizoid skeleton.

[reaction: see text] The tetracyclic isogeissoschizoid skeleton has been prepared by a novel route that involves the ozonolysis and double reductive amination of a cyclopentene, a nickel-catalyzed cyclization, and a late-stage Fischer indole synthesis.
