This letter extends the scope of the rhodium(I)-catalyzed allenic Alder-ene carbocyclization reaction to the preparation of delta- and epsilon-lactams from amides. A variety of allenic propiolamides were cycloisomerized to give a number of unsaturated delta-lactams. In addition, allenic propargylamides give good yields of the corresponding epsilon-lactams. Formation of lactams possessing these ring sizes has rarely been accomplished via transition-metal-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming strategies. Thus, this approach provides an alternative strategy for synthesizing these substructures. [reaction: see text].
The hindered diene 1 reacts with 3-methylcyclohexenone 6 catalyzed by triflimide to produce the Mukaiyama Michael product 7 (low-temperature quenching) or the [4+2] cycloadduct 8 (quenching at 0 degrees C). Reaction of the hindered diene 23 with 2-methylcyclohexenone 12 with 5:1 AlBr3:AlMe3 afforded a 71% yield of a 1.9:1 mixture of two cycloadducts. Hydrolysis of the major isomer gave the dione 27', a model for the BCD ring system of pentacyclic triterpenes. [reaction: see text].
