Synthesis of CF3-Containing Spiro-[Indene-Proline] Derivatives via Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Activation/Annulation.

ABSTRACT: An efficient method of accessing new CF3-containing spiro-[indene-proline] derivatives has been developed based on a Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed tandem C-H activation/[3+2]-annulation reaction of 5-aryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates with alkynes. An important feature of this spiro annulation process is the feasibility of dehydroproline moiety to act as a directing group in the selective activation of the aromatic C-H bond.
