The EtAlCl2-mediated intramolecular addition of silyl enol ethers to both terminal and internal unactivated alkynes, bearing alkyl and phenyl susbstituents at the alkyne moiety, gave mono- and bicyclic β,γ-unsaturated ketones in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, the silyloxy-substituted cyclic vinylsilanes were obtained in moderate to high yields when the reactions were catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 in the presence of triethylsilane. All the reactions proceeded via endo-fashion exclusively. The mechanisms of these regiospecific Lewis acid-assisted carbocyclizations are proposed.Key words: Lewis acid, silyl enol ethers, carbocyclization, alkynes.

A fast and convenient protocol for the synthesis of novel spiro[dihydropyridine-oxindole] derivatives in satisfactory yields was developed by the three-component reactions of arylamine, isatin and cyclopentane-1,3-dione in acetic acid at room temperature. On the other hand the condensation of isatin with two equivalents of cyclopentane-1,3-dione gave 3,3-bis(2-hydroxy-5-oxo-cyclopent-1-enyl)oxindole in high yields. The reaction mechanism and substrate scope of this novel reaction is briefly discussed.

New synthetic methods for spirolactams bearing an α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone or its analogous methylene-lactam have been developed. The allylation of γ-phenylthio-functionalized γ-lactams with 2-(acetoxy)methyl acrylamides was accomplished by using 2.5 equivalents of NaH to give the corresponding adducts in excellent yields. The remaining phenylthio group was substituted with a hydroxy group by treatment with CuBr, and the resulting γ-hydroxyamides were cyclized under acidic conditions to afford the corresponding methylene-lactam-fused spirolactams in high yields. On the other hand, methylene-lactone-fused spirolactams could be delivered from the allyl adducts in high yields through a sequential N-Boc protection/desulfinative lactonization.
