<div>Catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions have recently been developed as a powerful tool for carbon-carbon bond</div><div>formation. However, currently available synthetic protocols rely exclusively on aryl ketone substrates while the corresponding aliphatic analogs remain elusive. We herein report the development of Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin ring-closing metathesis reactions for aliphatic ketones. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with a distinct mode of activation relying on the in situ formation of a homobimetallic singly-bridged iron(III)-dimer as the active catalytic species. These “superelectrophiles” function as more powerful Lewis acid catalysts that form upon association of individual iron(III)-monomers. While this mode of Lewis acid activation has previously been postulated to exist, it has not yet been applied in a catalytic setting. The insights presented are expected to enable further advancement in Lewis acid catalysis by building upon the activation principle of “superelectrophiles” and broaden the current scope of catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions.</div>

In Situ Generation

A three-component reaction involving in situ generation of propargylureas and subsequent Zn(OTf)2-mediated cyclocondensation with a primary amine yielded trisubstituted 2-aminoimidazoles. These findings are in contrast to the previously reported base-promoted unimolecular cyclization of propargylureas (leading to 2-imidazolones) and extend the range of Lewis acid-catalyzed azole syntheses based on N-carbonyl propargylamines.

<p>The predominant transformations of 4-methyl- and 4-phenyl-1,3,3-<i>tris</i>-carbethoxycyclobutenes to s-<i>trans</i>-<i>trans</i>-1,1,3-<i>tris</i>-carbethoxy-4-methyl- and 4-phenyl-1,3-butadienes, respectively, proceed through pathways entailing heterolytic cleavage of the s<sub>C3C4</sub> bond rather than the usual four-electron conrotatory ring opening following the rules of torquoselectivity. The adventitious or in situ generated halogen acid from CDCl<sub>3</sub> catalyzes the reaction of 4-methyl-1,3,3-<i>tris</i>-carbethoxycyclobutene by protonation of one of the two ester groups on C3 and, thereby, weakening the s<sub>C3C4</sub> bond to allow its heterolytic S<sub>N</sub>2 cleavage by the chloride ion. This is followed by <i>cisoid</i><b>→</b><i>transoid</i> isomerization and loss of the elements of the halogen acid to form the products. In the Lewis acid-catalyzed reaction of 4-phenyl-1,3,3-<i>tris</i>-carbethoxycyclobutene in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>, coordination of the Lewis acid with one of two ester groups on C3 is followed by heterolytic cleavage of the s<sub>C3C4</sub> bond. The resultant species subsequently undergoes <i>cisoid</i><b>→</b><i>transoid</i> isomerization before losing the Lewis acid to form the products.<br></p>
