title: Pt(II) or Ag(I) salt catalyzed cycloisomerizations and tandem cycloadditions forming functionalized azacyclic arrays.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Cyclic ene-N-p-toluenesulfonamides tethered to an electron-deficient alkyne undergo cycloisomerizations readily under the influence of catalytic Pt(II) salts (PtCl2 or [dppbPtmu-OH]2(BF4)2) or AgOTf. Yields for this process range from 47% to 99%. The resulting functionalized 2-azahydrindans can be reacted further using the Diels-Alder reaction. Tandem cycloisomerization-cycloaddition reactions in one pot generate highly functionalized 1-azadecalin ring systems in a highly stereocontrolled manner.
