Strain-driven palladium/N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed C-C bond activation of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPC) has been explored for one-step access to trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated esters and amides. The designed transformation works under mild conditions providing exclusively a single stereoisomer. Mechanistic studies support the oxidative addition of the C-C bond of cyclopropenone to in-situ-generated Pd(0) intermediate. We have proved that vinylic hydrogen in the product is coming from phenol/aniline through deuterium-labeling studies. Late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules such as procaine, estrone, and hymecromone demonstrates the robustness of this protocol.

Here a highly efficient cascade approach is reported that combines a cycloaddition reaction with a regioselective strain-release process to afford diverse heterocyclic frameworks through bifunctional catalysis. The cooperation of hydrogen-bonding network activation and a regiodivergent strain-assisted effect is the key to promoting this complex chemical transformation, leading to the generation of two different ring systems in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. The reaction proceeded by a mechanism involving a “spring-loaded” intermediate with switchable C?C bond cleavages achieved by controllable ring-strain release. This reaction was also amenable to gram scale synthesis with only 0.1 mol % catalyst loading.
