โœฆ Synopsis


Tetmhydrofumn-3-ones and tetrahydropymrr-3-ones can be prepmedenrmtiosekxtively by rearrangementof the ylide-typeintermediatesgeneratedby the reactionof a chiral copper carbenoidwith the oxygenatom of a pendant allylic ether. Cyclic ethers with enantiomericexcesses of up to 57% have been obtainedusing a coppercomplexof the enantiomericatlypure diimine la forcarbenoid generation.

Copper carbenoids undergo efficient intramolecular insertion into ally1 ethers, and 'the resulting ylide-type species rearrange to furnish cyclic ethers (ring sizes 6-8) in high yield. Copper(E) hexafluoroacetylacetonate is an extremely efficient catalyst for this reaction, and use of this complex
