Abstract:
The palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates (VECs) with ketones presents significant challenges with only sporadic examples reported. Herein, we have developed an in situ generation strategy enabling the engagement of polycarbonyl-based ketones in [3 + 2] cycloaddition with VECs. This approach utilizes diazo compounds as latent carbonyl precursors and employs DMSO as both the solvent and oxidant, bypassing issues associated with the isolation of easily hydrated polycarbonyl compounds. By this protocol, various 1,3-dioxolanes bearing two quaternary stereocenters were readily constructed.
