Abstract

The first synthetic application of a vinylic oxirane as a heteroatom-containing five-atom component in transition-metal-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions is reported. A new, efficient, diastereoselective tandem intramolecular hetero-[5+2] cycloaddition/Claisen rearrangement of vinylic oxirane-alkyne substrates that uses a rhodium NHC complex and provides strategically novel, atom-economic, regiospecific, and diastereoselective access to [3.1.0] bicyclic products has been developed.
