Concept:

  • The Nazarov cyclization reaction is a chemical reaction used in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various cyclopentenone derivatives.
  • The Nazarov cyclization involves the activation of a divinyl ketone using a stoichiometric amount of lewis acid or protic acid as a promoter. The key step of the reaction mechanism involves a cationic 4π-electrocyclic ring closure which forms the cyclopentenone product.
  • An example is shown below:

Explanation:

  • The reaction pathway is shown below:

  • From the above reaction, we see that the reaction proceeds through the Nazarov cyclization reaction, where FeCl3 acts as a lewis acid in this reaction to form a cationic intermediate.
  • In the next step, the cationic intermediate undergoes a 4π-electrocyclic ring closure in a conrotatory manner to give the \(\beta \)-silyl carbocation.
  • The silyl carbocation undergoes rearrangement to give the final product. 

Conclusion:

The major product formed in the following transformation is
