Abstract
A study on a rhodium(II)-catalyzed reaction of N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles with 2-alkenols is reported. The reaction is initiated by insertion of an α-imino carbene into the O-H linkage of alcohol, forming a 2-alkenoxy enamide intermediate. A thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement follows to yield 2-substituted 2-amino ketone in a stereoselective manner. The successful application of this methodology to a formal synthesis of (-)-α-conhydrine is also described.
