Abstract
The first example of an organocatalytic Cope rearrangement is reported. Acyclic and cyclic acyl hydrazides catalyze the rearrangement of 1,5-hexadiene-2-carboxaldehydes via iminium ion formation. A correlation between ring size and catalyst activity was observed for the cyclic hydrazides, with seven- and eight-membered-ring catalysts being the most active. Diazepane carboxylate 5 c (10 mol %) catalyzed the rearrangement of a range of dienes at room temperature in acetonitrile using triflic acid as a co-catalyst. Preliminary proof of principle for asymmetric catalysis was provided by rearrangement of 3,3-dimethyl-7-phenyl-1,5-heptadiene-2-carboxaldehyde in the presence of a novel 7-substituted diazepane carboxylate.
