The present invention describes the gold-catalyzed construction of geminocyano-substituted
tricyclic [4.4.0.0] 1,5 The method for synthesizing the
decane skeleton belongs to the field of
organic synthesis technology. Compound 1 is added to an
organic solvent, and the reaction is carried out at 25℃-80℃ for 3 hours in the presence of a gold catalyst and additives to obtain product compound 2. The gold catalyst is selected from
triphenylphosphine monochloride,
triphenylphosphine gold(I) 3-methylbenzotriazole salt, and
triphenylphosphine gold(I)
trifluoromethanesulfonate. The additive is selected from
silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, silver fluoroantimonate, and silver bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylimide). The synthetic method described in this invention is simple to operate, low in cost, highly efficient, and widely applicable, possessing practical application value. Substrate 1 in this invention can be flexibly derivatized by adjusting the structure of its synthetic raw materials or through subsequent functionalization modifications, providing greater convenience for skeleton modification. This invention utilizes the properties of gold catalysts to achieve rapid and convenient synthesis of fused-ring skeletons containing three-membered rings that are difficult to synthesize under other conditions.
