An intramolecular cyclization reaction using alkynyl cyclic acetals as substrates and silver triflate or boron trifluoride etherate as catalysts has been developed for the synthesis of various phenanthrene derivatives. The reaction mechanism involves either alkyne activation or acetal activation pathways based on pi- or sigma-Lewis acidities, as suggested by the X-ray structure analysis and computational density functional theory study.
An intramolecular cyclization reaction of alkynyl cyclic acetals to synthesize various phenanthrene derivatives in the presence of silver triflate (AgOTf) or boron trifluoride etherate (BF3.OEt2) as catalysts has been developed. By using AgOTf or BF3.OEt(2 )appropriately depending on the substituents various alkynyl cyclic acetals were converted to the corresponding phenanthrene derivatives. Investigations of reaction mechanisms, X-ray structure of the product, and computational density functional theory (DFT) study suggested that the reaction proceeds via alkyne activation (pi-activation) or acetal activation (sigma-activation) pathways based on pi- or sigma-Lewis acidities.
