Stannylative cycloaddition of enynes catalyzed by palladium-iminophosphine

J Am Chem Soc. 2004 Dec 8;126(48):15650-1. doi: 10.1021/ja044429s.

Abstract

Palladium-iminophosphine complex catalyzes stannylative cycloaddition of conjugated enynes using hexabutyldistannoxane as a stannylating agent to afford highly substituted 3-alkenylphenylstannanes regioselectively. Stannylative cross-cycloaddition reactions between different enynes or between enynes and diynes are also achieved. The reaction is successfully applied to a concise synthesis of alcyopterosin N, which has been isolated recently from sub-Antarctic soft coral, Alcyonium paessleri.
