Hg(OTf)2 Catalyzed Intramolecular 1,4-Addition of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropenes to Arenes.

ABSTRACT: A Hg(OTf)2 catalyzed intramolecular arene 1,4-addition reaction of N-benzyl donor-acceptor cyclopropenecarboxamides was developed to synthesize a series of [3.2.2]nonatriene derivatives. This novel reaction is also observed with silver(I) catalysts known to form metal carbene intermediates in competition with the Buchner reaction.
