Cobalt Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclization of Acyclic Alkenols for Polycyclic Ether Synthesis Public

Abstract

Intramolecular cyclization reactions are useful to form fused cyclic ether rings like those observed in the natural product, brevenal. Stoichiometric amounts of mercury and iodide have been applied to acyclic alkenol substrates that resulted in brevenal’s ABC cyclic ether core with some limitations. We present a new metal catalyzed approach that will expand bis(1,3-diketonato)cobalt(II) intramolecular cyclizations beyond 5-membered tetrahydrofuran compounds. Studies with substituted alkenol substrates has provided suitable preliminary reaction conditions for product formation. Optimized reaction conditions will include the appropriate cobalt catalyst and efficient catalyst regeneration for successful product isolation.
