Abstract

Finding new methods of carbon–carbon bond formation is a key goal in expanding current methodology for heterocycle formation. Because of their inherently non-planar shape, new methods of forming sp3-rich scaffolds are of particular importance. While there are methods for combining heterocyclisation and formation of new sp3–sp3 carbon–carbon bonds, these form the carbon– heteroatom bond rather than a carbon–carbon bond of the heterocycle. Here we show a new alkene arylallylation reaction that generates a heterocycle with concomitant formation of two new carbon– carbon bonds. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this process occurs through an isohypsic (redox neutral) mechanism. Overall, this carboallylation reaction gives a new route to the synthesis of 3,3- disubstituted heterocycles.
