Oxidative gold catalysis meets photochemistry - synthesis of benzo(a)fluorenones from diynes

Diynes bearing one terminal and one triarylmethyl-substituted alkyne were converted into complex benzofluorenone derivatives via a one-pot process involving a gold-catalyzed step followed by a photocyclization/oxidation. In the first step an N-oxide was used to position-selectively generate an α-oxo...

Description
Summary:Diynes bearing one terminal and one triarylmethyl-substituted alkyne were converted into complex benzofluorenone derivatives via a one-pot process involving a gold-catalyzed step followed by a photocyclization/oxidation. In the first step an N-oxide was used to position-selectively generate an α-oxo carbenoid at the terminal alkyne which after a regioselective 1,6-carbene transfer along the tethered tritylalkyne and a subsequent aryl 1,2-shift furnished tetraphenylethylene-like derivatives. These intermediates were successfully transformed to fluorenones via oxidative photocyclization.
