A method for the three-component cycloaddition of enoates, alkynes, and aldehydes has been developed. Building upon previous work by this group in which stoichiometrically generated metallacycles undergo alkylation, we report a catalytic, alkylative [3 + 2] cycloaddition. From simple starting materials, structurally complex cyclopentenones may be rapidly assembled. Computational investigation of the mechanism (ωB97X-D3/cc-pVTZ//ωB97X/6-31G(d)) identified three energetically feasible pathways. Based on the relative rates of ketene formation compared to isomerization to a seven-membered metallacycle, the most likely mechanism has been determined to occur “ketene-first”, with carbocyclization prior to aldol addition. Deuterium labeling studies suggest that formation of the seven-membered metallacycle becomes possible when an α-substituted enoate is used. This observed change in selectivity is due to the increased difficulty of phenoxide elimination with the inclusion of additional steric bulk of the α-substituent. The net transformation results in a [3 + 2] cycloaddition accompanied by an alkylation of the enoate substituent.
