摘要: This work reports gold-catalyzed bicyclic annulations of 2-alkynyl-1-carbonylbenzenes with vinyldiazo ketones that serve as five-atom building units. The importance these reactions is to access 4,5-dihydro-benzo[g]indazoles, which form the structural cores various bioactive molecules. According our mechanistic analysis, we postulate initial [5+4]-cycloadditions between benzopyrilium intermediates and ketones, followed by 6-π-electrocyclizations achieve excellent stereoselectivity.
