Abstract

Rhodium(II) acetate catalyzed domino reactions of bis-diazo compounds afford epoxy- and epithio-bridged heterocycle-fused quinolizinone systems in a stereoselective manner. The presence of an acceptor diazo functionality leads to a selective intermolecular X–H insertion reaction in a chemoselective manner, and the acceptor/acceptor diazo functionality subsequently participates in the formation of isomünchnone/thioisomünchnone 1,3-dipoles followed by intramolecular cycloaddition in a diastereoselective manner. This domino reaction is capable of constructing epoxy- and epithio-bridged heterocycle-fused quinolizinone ring systems with four stereogenic centers. The Brønsted acid induced reactions of oxa-bridged tricyclic compounds furnish ring-opened alcohol products in a regioselective manner.
