Abstract
The intermolecular reductive cyclodimerization reactions of cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones such as 2-benzylideneindan-1-ones, 2-benzylidene-1-tetralones, 3-benzylidenechroman-4-ones, and 3-benzylidenethiochroman-4-ones induced by a low-valent titanium reagent were studied. Some new spiro compounds were prepared in good yields under neutral and mild conditions. High stereoselectivity was achieved and the stereochemistry of the products was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
Key words
low-valent titanium - cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones - spiro compounds - stereochemistry
