Platinum-Catalyzed α,β-Desaturation of Cyclic Ketones through Direct Metal–Enolate Formation

The development of a platinum-catalyzed desaturation of cyclic ketones to their conjugated α,β-unsaturated counterparts is reported in this full article. A unique diene-platinum complex was identified to be an efficient catalyst, which enables direct metal-enolate formation. The reaction operates under mild conditions without using strong bases or acids. Good to excellent yields can be achieved for diverse and complex scaffolds. A wide range of functional groups, including those sensitive to acids, bases/nucleophiles, or palladium species, are tolerated, which represents a distinct feature from other known desaturation methods. Mechanistically, this platinum catalysis exhibits a fast and reversible α-deprotonation followed by a rate-determining β-hydrogen elimination process, which is different from the prior Pd-catalyzed desaturation method. Promising preliminary enantioselective desaturation using a chiral-diene-platinum complex has also been obtained.
Palladium-Catalyzed α-Arylation of Vinylogous Esters for the Synthesis of γ,γ-Disubstituted Cyclohexenones

A palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of cyclic vinylogous esters to form products that are converted in one step to γ-alkyl-γ-aryl-substituted cyclohexenones is reported. This Pd-catalyzed reaction proceeds at room temperature, is generally high-yielding, and uses an amount of a commercially available catalyst as low as 0.25 mol %. The scope of aryl bromides is particularly broad, and alkenyl bromides can also be used. This two-step protocol, comprising α-arylation and reductive transposition, can be performed in one pot and is applicable to gram-scale synthesis.

A general and simple methodology for spirocyclopentannulation of cyclic ketones (or 4,4-disubstituted cyclopentenones from acyclic ketones) and its application in the synthesis of the spirodienone 7 via a prochiral precursor constituting a formal total synthesis of (±)-acorone (6), are described.
