A synthetic strategy for polyfunctionalized bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes based on a tandem three-component [3 + 2] cycloaddition of alpha-cinnamoyl ketene-S,S-acetals with oxalyl chloride.
A simple and highly efficient three-component reaction of the readily available alpha-cinnamoyl ketene-S,S-acetals 1 with oxalyl chloride has been developed and the corresponding gamma-alkylidenebutenolides 2 were obtained stereospecifically in excellent yields under very mild conditions. On the basis of this reaction, a series of highly functionalized bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes 3 were constructed in good to high yields in an atom-economic manner with good diastereoselectivity via a BF3.OEt2-mediated novel tandem double cyclization of gamma-alkylidenebutenolides 2 under very mild conditions.
