On the Mechanism of the α-Alkynone Cyclization: Synthesis and Thermolysis of 1-(1-Methylcyclopentyl)[3-13C]prop-2-ynoneThe relative migratory aptitude of two acetylenic substituents in the α-alkynone cyclization, a thermal conversion of α-acetylenic ketones A to 2-cyclopentenones C, was investigated by isotope-labeling experiments. The α-alkynone [β-13C]-1, specifically labeled with 13C at the β-acetylenic C-atom C(3), was synthesized by an intramolecular Witting reaction (230-300°) of the diacylmethylidenephosphorane [13C]-7. The latter resulted from acylation of methylidenetriphenylphosphorane with the acid chloride 4 to yield the acylmethylidenephosphorane 5, which in turn was formylated with acetic [13C]formic anhydride ([13C]-6.) Upon thermolysis of [β-13C]-1, its label at C(β) was transferred almost exclusively to C(β) of the 2-cyclopentenone moiety in the resulting cyclization product [13C]-2. We conclude that there is a distinct preference for hydrogen migration in the acetylene → alkylidene carbene isomerization (A → B) which precedes the cyclization step (B → C). No evidence was found for a fast reversibility of this isomerization (A ⇄ B) involving both acetylenic substituents.
