Popis: | The regioselectivity of the thermal cyclisations of enyne–allenes 1 can be toggled as a function of the ring size of the cycloalkene. With a cyclopentene as the ene moiety the Myers–Saito (C2–C7) cycloaromatisation product is formed, whereas with six- and seven-membered cycloalkenes the novel C2–C6 cyclisation is observed. DFT calculations are used to rationalise these changes. The implications of these findings for alternative thermal biradical cyclisations of neocarzinostatin are discussed. |
