Chemo- and regioselective synthesis of acyl-cyclohexenes by a tandem acceptorless dehydrogenation-[1,5]-hydride shift cascade
An atom-economical methodology to access substituted acyl-cyclohexenes from pentamethylacetophenone and 1,5-diols is described. This process is catalyzed by an iridium(I) catalyst in conjunction with a bulky electron rich phosphine ligand (CataCXium A) which favors acceptorless dehydrogenation over...
