The Development of a Facile Tandem Wolff/Cope Rearrangement for the Synthesis of Fused Carbocyclic Skeletons

Abstract

A set of mild processes for the conversion of vinyl cyclopropyl diazo ketones to highly functionalized cycloheptadienones and vinyl cyclopentenones by use of a target-inspired tandem Wolff/Cope rearrangement sequence is described. A divergent reaction course of the vinyl cyclopropyl diazo ketone substrates under sono- or photochemical activation provides good to excellent yields (55−98%) of the product cycloheptadienones and vinyl cyclopentenones.
