A General and Highly Selective Palladium-Catalyzed Hydroamidation of 1,3-Diynes

A chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective mono-hydroamidation of (un)symmetrical 1,3-diynes is described. Key for the success of this novel transformation is the utilization of an advanced palladium catalyst system with the specific ligand Neolephos. The synthetic value of this general approach to synthetically useful α-alkynyl-α, β-unsaturated amides is showcased by diversification of several structurally complex molecules and marketed drugs. Control experiments and density-functional theory (M06L-SMD) computations also suggest the crucial role of the substrate in controlling the regioselectivity of unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes.

Selective Hydroarylation of 1,3-Diynes Using a Dimeric Manganese Catalyst: Modular Synthesis of Z-Enynes

The transition-metal-catalyzed selective hydroarylation of unsymmetrical alkynes represents the state-of-art in organic chemistry, and still mainly relies on the use of precious late-transition-metal catalysts. Reported herein is an unprecedented MnI-catalyzed hydroarylation of unsymmetrical 1,3-diyne alcohols with commercially available arylboronic acids with predictive selectivity. This method addresses the challenges in regio-, stereo-, and chemoselectivity. It offers a general, convenient and practical strategy for the modular synthesis of multisubstituted Z-configurated conjugated enynes. This protocol is distinguished by its operational simplicity, complete selectivity, excellent functional-group compatibility, and gram-scale potential. A dimeric MnI species, Mn2(CO)8Br2, was proven to be a much more efficient catalyst precursor than Mn(CO)5Br.

Glaser-Hay hetero-coupling in a bimetallic regime: A Ni(II)/Ag(i) assisted base, ligand and additive free route to selective unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes

A Ni(OAc)2/Ag(OTf) catalysed coupling of aryl alkynes and propargylic alcohol/ether/ester gave the corresponding unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes in good to excellent yields. The reaction does not require bases, ligands or additives and shows excellent hetero-selectivity, thereby addressing the current challenges in the field of coupling of two different terminal alkynes.

Nickel-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions of two different terminal alkynes using O2 as the oxidant at room temperature: Facile syntheses of unsymmetric 1,3-diynes

(Formula Presented) Two different terminal alkynes now can be coupled together in the presence of NiCl2-6H2O/Cul by using an excess of one of the terminal alkyne substrates. The new method employed 20 mol % TMEDA as the ligand and environmentally benign O2 or air as the oxidant. It is the first example using Ni-salt as catalyst by employing air or O2 as oxidant, which led to efficient heterocoupling of two different alkynes.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 1,2-diiodoalkenes with terminal alkynes: Selective synthesis of unsymmetrical buta-1,3-diynes and 2-ethynylbenzofurans

(E)-1,2-Diiodoalkenes were found to be effective building blocks for the preparation of unsymmetrical buta-1,3-diynes and 2-ethynylbenzofurans. In the presence of palladium(II) acetate and copper(I) iodide, unsymmetrical buta-1,3-diynes were selectively o

Investigation of an efficient palladium-catalyzed C(sp)-C(sp) cross-coupling reaction using phosphine-olefin ligand: Application and mechanistic aspects

A π-acceptor phosphine-electron-deficient olefin ligand was found effective in promoting Pd-catalyzed C(sp)-C(sp) cross-coupling reactions. The new protocol realized the cross-coupling of a broad scope of terminal alkynes and haloalkynes in good to excellent yields with high selectivities. Electron-rich alkynes, which are normally difficult substrates in Glaser couplings, could be employed as either nucleophiles or electrophiles. Alkynes bearing similar substituents, such as n-C5H11CCBr and n-C4H9CCH, which usually suffer from homocoupling side reactions under Cadiot-Chodkiewicz conditions, were successfully cross-coupled in the system. Preliminary kinetic studies revealed that the reaction rate was zero-order in the concentrations of both haloalkynes and terminal alkynes and first order in the loading of Pd(dba)2 and exhibited no obvious dependence on the loading of the copper salt. Control experiments with other phosphines such as PPh3 and DPPF as the ligand were carried out. All the kinetic evidence indicated that the phosphine-olefin ligand facilitated the reductive elimination in the catalytic cycle.
