Facile coupling of propargylic, allylic and benzylic alcohols with allylsilane and alkynylsilane, and their deoxygenation with Et3SiH, catalyzed by Bi(OTf)3 in [BMIM][BF4] ionic liquid (IL), with recycling and reuse of the IL

Allyltrimethylsilane (allyl-TMS) reacts with propargylic alcohols 1a-1d in the presence of 10% Bi(OTf)3 in [BMIM][BF4] solvent to furnish the corresponding 1,5-enynes in respectable isolated yields (87-93%) at room temperature. The utility of Bi(OTf)3 as a superior catalyst was demonstrated in a survey study on coupling of allyl-TMS with 1a employing several metallic triflates (Bi, Ln, Al, Yb) as well as, B(C6F 5)3, Zn(NTf2)2 and Bi(NO 3)3·5H2O. Coupling of cyclopropyl substituted propargylic alcohol 1e with allyl-TMS gave the skeletally intact 1,5-enyne and a ring opened derivative as a mixture. Coupling of propargylic/allylic alcohol 1f with allyl-TMS resulted in allylation at both benzylic (2 isomers) and propargylic positions, as major and minor products respectively. The scope of this methodology for allylation of a series of allylic and benzylic alcohols was explored. Chemoselective reduction of a host of propargylic, propagylic/allylic, bis-allylic, allylic, and benzylic alcohols with Et3SiH was achieved in high yields with short reaction times. The same approach was successfully applied to couple representative propargylic and allylic alcohols with 1-phenyl-2-trimethylsilylacetylene. The recovery and reuse of the ionic liquid (IL) was gauged in a case study with minimal decrease in isolated yields after six cycles.

Palladium-Catalyzed Propargylic vs. Allylic Alkylation

The relative reactivities of allylic propargylic acetates toward palladium(0)-catalyzed substitution by various nucleophiles were studied bu using three types of model substrates: (a) monofunctional allylic and propargylic acetates with similar structural properties; (b) a bifunctional substrate containing both allyl and propargyl functionalities with no apparent interaction between them; (c) conjugated bifunctional systems, in which the two functionalities may interact with one another.Palladium(0)-catalyzed substitution of propargylic acetates by various carbon nucleophiles was found to be less general than the analogous substitution of allylic acetates.Three modes of reactivity were observed, corresponding to three groups of nucleophiles; (a) stabilized carboanions such as sodium dimethyl malonate, which do not react with propargylic acetates but react readily with allylic acetates; (b) nonstabilized organometallics such as phenylzinc chloride, which react with propargylic and allylic acetates at comparable rates (reaction with the former yielding the allenic product exlusively); and (c) allyl- and allenylstannanes, which react with allylic acetates but do not react with isolated propargylic acetates (except for special cases where the propargylic acetate is also an allylic one).Certain similarities between regioselectivity phenomena in organopalladium and organocopper chemistry are discussed.
