Neue Konzepte zur Synthese und Reaktivität von Schwefelyliden
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Sulfonium ylides are textbook reagents in organic synthesis. In this project, we have significantly expanded their scope of applications. Thus, we have developed their use for the synthesis of three-membered ring products using an unusual strategy relying on a gold catalyst. The mechanism of these reactions was studied in detail, and hints from those mechanistic studies were then used to develop an enantioselective synthesis of cyclopropanes. That reaction was applied to a very short synthesis of the so-called “cognac lactone” (a compound whose name perfectly reflects its importance to the fragrance and aroma industry). We have also highlighted several other intriguing reactivity aspects of sulfonium ylides, including their first use for an unusual alkene synthesis. https://science.apa.at/site/natur_und_technik/detail.html?key=SCI_20171031_SCI39471352438957982 http://www.chemie.de/news/165511/auch‐in‐der‐chemie‐sind‐aller‐guten‐dinge‐drei.html https://medienportal.univie.ac.at/presse/aktuelle‐pressemeldungen/detailansicht/artikel/auch‐in‐der‐chemie‐sind‐aller‐guten‐dinge‐drei/
