Cationic cyclizations of iron tricarbonyl diene complexes with pendant alkenes and arenes

Ghidu, Victor P.

Abstract Details

2005, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Chemistry.
A new method for cationic cyclization of iron tricarbonyl diene complexes with pendant alkenes and arenes is presented, improving an earlier method developed in the Pearson laboratory, both in terms of economy and reactivity. Previously reported dehydroxylation of diastereomeric alcohols is replaced by regiospecific protonation of a double bond adjacent to the iron tricarbonyl diene moiety (both processes occur with anchimeric assistance from the iron atom). The method was tested in a simple synthetic application: bicyclization of polyene substrates toward octahydrophenanthrene derivatives. Complete diastereoselectivity and adherence to the Stork-Eschenmoser postulate was observed.
