Acid- and Pd(0)-catalyzed ring opening of 1-(1-cycloalkenyl)cyclopropyl sulfonates

Org Lett. 2007 Oct 25;9(22):4439-42. doi: 10.1021/ol701653x. Epub 2007 Sep 29.

Abstract

We report herein facile acid-catalyzed isomerization of 1-(1'-cycloalkenyl)cyclopropyl sulfonates under mild conditions. The remarkable ease of ring opening is attributed to the presence of a 1'-alkyl substituent. Also included is a palladium-catalyzed ring opening reaction of 1-(1'-cycloalkenyl)cyclopropyl tosylates for convenient preparation of substituted 1,3-dienylamines, which complements previously reported nucleophilic substitution reactions of (1-vinyl)cyclopropyl tosylates.
