摘要

2-Cyclopenten-1-one-5-carboxylic ester derivatives 14 are synthesized in a four- step-reaction sequence starting from alkynyl aldehydes 9 via 4Z-beta-vinyl-alpha-diazo beta-ketoesters intermediate 8. The synthetic method for 8 is described. When the delta substituent is an alkyl group, Rh(Il)-mediated decomposition of the diazo compounds 8 led to an intramolecular C-H insertion to afford 2-cyclopenten-1-one-5-carboxylic ester derivatives 14 in high yields. When the delta substituent is an aryl group, 2-hydroxynaphthoate 15 is obtained exclusively. In both cases, no Wolff rearrangement product was observed.
