- Copper(I)-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective intramolecular alkylboration of propargyl ethers and amines
-
The copper(I)-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective intramolecular alkylation of propargyl ethers and amines bearing an alkyl electrophilic moiety has been developed. The reaction showed high functional group tolerance and gave highly functionalized alkenylboronates bearing heterocyclic rings, which are versatile synthetic intermediates in organic chemistry. The borylation products can be transformed into multisubstituted alkenes through stereospecific transformations. Mechanistic studies showed that the chemo- and stereoselectivity of copper(I)-catalyzed borylation depends on the type of leaving group. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the regioselectivity of the borylcupration of the alkyne is controlled by the electronic effect of the oxygen atom of the propargyl ether in combination with the steric congestion between the boryl group and the substituent at the propargylic position.

- Carbocyclization reaction of ω-iodo- and 1,ω-diiodo-1-alkynes without the loss of iodine atoms through a carbenoid-chain process
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Atom-economical carbocyclization reactions of ω-iodo-1-alkynes and 1,ω-diiodo-1-alkynes to give products with incorporation of iodine atoms is described. Cycloisomerization of 2-(2-propynyloxy)ethyl iodides is initiated by a catalytic amount of LDA to give 3-(iodomethylene)tetrahydrofurans in high yields. Upon treatment of with a catalytic amount of 1-hexynyllithium, 1ω-diiodo-1-alkynes efficiently undergo cycloisomerization to give (diiodomethylene)cycloalkanes. The diiodomethylene products are also obtained by iodine atom-transfer-type cyclization of ω-iodo-1-alkynes, using 1-iodo-1-hexyne as an external iodine atom source. Bromine atom-transfer and proton-transfer cyclization proceed as well by employing 1-bromo-1-octyne and 1-octyne, respectively. These reactions are proposed to proceed through a carbenoid-chain process involving exo-cyclization of the lithium acetylide intermediates to give Li,I-alkylidene carbenoids. It is shown that the exo-cyclization proceeded stereospecifically through inversion of the stereochemistry at the electrophilic carbon.
