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.

In Situ Synthesis of CuN4/Mesoporous N-Doped Carbon for Selective Oxidative Crosscoupling of Terminal Alkynes under Mild Conditions

The 1,3-conjugated diynes are an important class of chemical intermediates, and the selective crosscoupling of terminal alkynes is an efficient chemical process for manufacturing asymmetrical 1,3-conjugated diynes. However, it often occurs in homogenous conditions and costs a lot for reaction treatment. Herein, a copper catalyzed strategy is used to synthesize highly ordered mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon material (OMNC), and the copper species is in situ transformed into the copper single-atom site with four nitrogen coordination (CuN4). These features make the CuN4/OMNC catalyst efficient for selective oxidative crosscoupling of terminal alkynes, and a wide range of asymmetrical and symmetrical 1,3-diynes (26 examples) under mild conditions (40?°C) and low substrates ratio (1.3). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the aryl–alkyl crosscoupling has the lowest energy barrier on the CuN4 site, which can explain the high selectivity. In addition, the catalyst can be separated and reused by simply centrifugation or filtration. This work can open a facile avenue for constructing single-atom loaded mesoporous materials to bridge homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.

Tuning of cross-Glaser products mediated by substrate-catalyst polymeric backbone interactions

Tuning of cross-Glaser products using different polymeric backbones supported by copper oxide nano-catalysts has been demonstrated by tweaking the substrate-catalyst interactions under greener conditions. Further, highly reactive magnetically separable and recyclable catalyst with scalability is demonstrated.

Ni/Cu-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Addition of Alkynoic Acids to Terminal Alkynes for the Synthesis of gem-1,3-Enynes

The synthesis of gem-1,3-enynes via Ni/Cu-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of alkynoic acids to terminal alkynes has been developed. It was found that the decarboxylation of an alkynoic acid led predominantly to gem-1,3-enynes instead of 1,3-diynes, whi

Metallomicelle catalyzed aerobic tandem desilylation/Glaser reaction in water

PEG-grafted nitrogen ligands were synthesized. The corresponding copper complexes serve as metallomicellar nanoreactors for the aerobic tandem desilylation/Glaser coupling of TMS-protected alkynes in water. The protocol is also suitable for base-free homocoupling of terminal alkynes. The metallomicellar catalyst could be recycled 5 times with minor loss of reactivity.

Copper Nanoparticles on Ordered Mesoporous Carbon Nitride Support: a Superior Catalyst for Homo- and Cross-Coupling of Terminal Alkynes under Base-Free Conditions

A novel ordered mesoporous carbon nitride (OMCN) was synthesized as a functionalized support with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and benzidine as starting materials in the presence of SBA-15 as a template. Copper nanoparticles were then loaded on the C–N material to achieve a novel nanocomposite catalyst (Cu NPs-OMCN). The nanocomposite was utilized as a highly efficient catalyst for homo- and cross-coupling of terminal alkynes under base-free conditions in ethanol, and various symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes were obtained with good to excellent yields. Moreover, based on this reaction, a one-pot approach to synthesize 2,5-disubstituted thiophenes and furans from terminal alkynes were developed. Furthermore, the heterogeneous catalyst could be recovered and reused conveniently for several times with satisfactory yields.

Gold-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling of Alkynes toward the Synthesis of Cyclic Conjugated Diynes

Gold-catalyzed oxidative coupling of alkynes was developed as an efficient approach for the synthesis of challenging cyclic conjugated diynes (CCD). Compared with the classic copper-promoted oxidative coupling reaction of alkynes, this gold-catalyzed process exhibited a faster reaction rate due to rapid reductive elimination from the Au(III) intermediate. This unique reactivity thus allowed a challenging diyne macrocyclization to take place with high efficiency. Condition screening revealed an [(n-Bu)4N]+[Cl-Au-Cl]? salt as the optimal pre-catalyst. Macrocycles with ring size between 13 and 28 atoms were prepared in moderate to good yields, which highlighted the broad substrate scope of this new strategy. Furthermore, the synthetic utilities of the CCDs for copper-free click chemistry have been demonstrated, showcasing the potential application of this strategy in biological systems. Macrocycles are important structural moieties in medicinal and biological research, and efficient methods for macrocyclization are always in high demand. With the unique conformation having six carbon atoms in a linear geometry, the cyclic conjugated diynes (CCD) present greater synthetic challenges and have been much less explored. Therefore, application of these unique macrocycles in biological studies is largely unexplored. Here, we describe the discovery of gold-catalyzed Glaser-Hay type oxidative coupling of terminal alkynes to achieve CCD under diluted conditions with broad substrate scope and great functional group compatibility. Taking advantage of the 14-member cyclic diyne, a copper-free click chemistry was achieved, which provided an effective alternative strategy for the traditional cyclooctyne-based azide-alkyne cycloaddition, suggesting a promising future for this method in tackling challenging problems in related biological and medicinal research. Gold-catalyzed oxidative coupling of alkynes was developed as an efficient approach for the synthesis of challenging cyclic conjugated diyne. Compared with copper-promoted oxidative coupling, this protocol allowed macrocyclization under dilute conditions with good overall reactivity and high functional group tolerance. The success in achieving copper-free click chemistry on cyclic conjugated diyne highlights its potential application in biological and medicinal research.

Copper Catalysis for Selective Heterocoupling of Terminal Alkynes

A Cu-catalyzed selective aerobic heterocoupling of terminal alkynes is disclosed, which enables the synthesis of a broad range of unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes in good to excellent yields. The results disprove the long-held belief that homocouplings are exclusively favored in the Glaser-Hay reaction.

Highly enantioselective copper(i)-catalyzed conjugate addition of 1,3-diynes to α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones

The conjugate diynylation of α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones is carried out in the presence of a low catalytic load (2.5 mol%) of a copper(i)-MeOBIPHEP complex, triethylamine and a terminal 1,3-diyne. Pre-metalation of the terminal 1,3-diyne with stoichiometric or higher amounts of dialkylzinc reagent is not required. The corresponding internal diynes bearing a propargylic stereogenic center are obtained with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. This journal is
