Triazoles 2a-b can be cleanly obtained via a Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition (CuAAC) using CuTC as catalyst. Notably, triazole 2a is most efficiently generated at high temperature via a standard reflux in chloroform for 3h or heating to 100 &#176;C for 15 min in a microwave reactor (note that time may vary depending on microwave efficiency); however, triazole 2b is most efficiently prepared via a CuAAC at room temperature. Therefore, effort must be taken...

Rhodium(II)-azavinyl carbenoids have recently emerged as an exceptionally versatile reactive intermediate en route to numerous valuable products.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 In particular, many novel uses of these intermediates for production of heterocycles10 have provided chemists with new and efficient synthetic strategies. Toward this end, our group initiated development of a new protocol for the synthesis of phthalans11 that would capitalize on recent advancements in the inter- and intramolecular additions of oxygen-based nucleophiles to Rh(II)-azavinyl carbenoids derived from N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles.12,13,14,15,16,17 Our approach features a straightforward two-step protocol for converting terminal alkynes such as 1 into N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles 2 bearing a pendent alcohol (Figure 1). Subsequently, a Rh(II)-catalyzed denitrogenation / 1,3-OH insertion cascade from 2 provides phthalans 3 having a reactive N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide functional group.
Since the N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide moiety is a potentially versatile, but relatively underexplored N- and O-containing synthon,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27 we became interested in studying the reactivity of its fused enol-ether/ene-sulfonamide system under a variety of conditions (Figure 2). After screening various reducing protocols, two methods were identified which led to stable phthalan and/or phenethylamine-containing products (Figure 2, 3 &#8594; 4/5). First, it was discovered that a standard hydrogenation of N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide 3a with catalytic palladium on carbon (Pd/C) selectively reduces the C=C bond to yield phthalan 4. Alternatively, treatment of 3a with sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride in diethyl ether/toluene provides the uniquely substituted phenethylamine derivative 5. We believe that both of these transformations are valuable, as they lead to product classes with potential biological activity including neuroactive properties arising from the embedded phenethylamine, and in the case of 4, metal-chelation via the cis-oriented N- and O-atoms.
While investigating acid-promoted additions to exploit the electron-rich C=C bond of 3a, it was found that treatment of this compound with catalytic trimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of alcohols or a thiol yielded ketals 6a-c and thioketal 6e, respectively, while keeping the bicyclic phthalan framework intact. Alternatively, stirring 3a in a 1:1 acetic acid/water solution yields stable hemiketal 6d.

preparation of n-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamides from n-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles and subsequent conversion to substituted phthalans and phenethylamines

Decomposition of N-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles with rhodium(II) acetate dimer in the presence of alcohols forms synthetically versatile N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamides, which react under a variety of conditions to afford useful N- and O-containing compounds. Acid-catalyzed addition of alcohols or thiols to N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide-containing phthalans provides access to ketals and thioketals, respectively. Selective reduction of the vinyl group in N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide-containing phthalans via hydrogenation yields the corresponding phthalan in good yield, whereas reduction with sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminumhydride generates a ring-opened phenethylamine analogue. Because the N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide functional group is synthetically versatile, but often hydrolytically unstable, this protocol emphasizes key techniques in preparing, handling, and reacting these pivotal substrates in several useful transformations.

All compounds in this study were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to confirm the product structure and assess purity. Key data for representative compounds are described in this section.
Spectral data are in good agreement with the triazole structure of 2a (Figure 3). In the 1H NMR sp...
