Somophilic alkynylation of unreactive alkenes enabled by iron-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer

We report an efficient and practical iron-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer protocol for assembling acetylenic motifs into functional alkenes. Diversities of internal alkynes could be obtained from readily available alkenes and acetylenic sulfones with exc

Regioselective Iron-Catalysed Cross-Coupling Reaction of Aryl Propargylic Bromides and Aryl Grignard Reagents

An iron-catalysed Kumada-type cross-coupling reaction between aryl substituted propargylic bromides and arylmagnesium reagents has been developed. Propargylic coupling products were the main or only outcome, and propargyl/allene regioselectivity was shown to depend on the electronic nature of the substituents on the triple bond of the substrate and on the arylmagnesium halide. Best selectivities were observed when electron donating substituents were present in either reagent. The process is stereoespecific, occurs with configuration inversion and no carbon-based radicals seem to be involved in the mechanism. (Figure presented.).

Synthesis and Functionalization of Allenes by Direct Pd-Catalyzed Organolithium Cross-Coupling

A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between in situ generated allenyl/propargyl-lithium species and aryl bromides to yield highly functionalized allenes is reported. The direct and selective formation of allenic products preventing the corresponding isomeric propargylic product is accomplished by the choice of SPhos or XPhos based Pd catalysts. The methodology avoids the prior transmetalation to other transition metals or reverse approaches that required prefunctionalization of substrates with leaving groups, resulting in a fast and efficient approach for the synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted allenes. Experimental and theoretical studies on the mechanism show catalyst control of selectivity in this allene formation.

Regio- and Stereospecific Copper-Catalyzed Substitution Reaction of Propargylic Ammonium Salts with Aryl Grignard Reagents

We have developed a copper-catalyzed substitution reaction of propargylic ammonium salts with aryl Grignard reagents. The reaction is stereospecific and α-regioselective and proceeds with exceptional functional group tolerance. Conveniently, a stable, inexpensive, and commercially available copper salt is used and no added ligand is required.

Catalytic C-N bond alkynylation of N-benzylic sulfonamides with terminal alkynes

A new cross-coupling reaction of N-benzylic sulfonamides with terminal alkynes for the synthesis of internal alkynes is reported. In the presence of 5 mol% of (Tf)2NH/Bi(OTf)3 (1:1), a broad range of N-benzylic sulfonamides react smoothly with arylacetylenes to afford structurally diverse internal alkynes in moderate to excellent yields. We reasoned that vinyl cations could be formed by the regioselective attack of terminal alkynes with benzyl cations generated in situ from N-benzylic sulfonamides under acidic conditions, which then eliminated to form a carbon-carbon triple bond. An unprecedented synthesis of internal alkynes from N-benzylic sulfonamides and terminal alkynes has been developed through TfOH/Fe(OTf)3-catalyzed cleavage of C(sp3)-N bonds and C(sp)-H bonds. This protocol is compatible with a broad range of N-benzylic sulfonamides and arylacetylenes. Copyright

Cationic Iron(III) porphyrin catalyzed dehydrative friedel-crafts reaction of alcohols with arenes

Alcohols react with arenes in the presence of cationic iron(III) porphyrin catalyst. The reaction involves the formation of the C-C bond via dehydration, which is formal Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

Highly chemoselective calcium-catalyzed propargylic deoxygenation

A calcium-catalyzed direct reduction of propargylic alcohols and ethers has been accomplished by using triethylsilane as a nucleophilic hydride source. At room temperature a variety of secondary propargylic alcohols was deoxygenated to the corresponding h

Electrophilic chemistry of propargylic alcohols in imidazolium ionic liquids: Propargylation of arenes and synthesis of propargylic ethers catalyzed by metallic triflates [Bi(OTf)3, Sc(OTf)3, Yb(OTf) 3], TfOH, or B(C6F5)3

Metallic triflates M(OTf)3 (M = Bi, Sc, Yb), immobilized in imidazolium ionic liquids [BMIM][BF4], [BMIM][PF6] and [BMIM][OTf] are efficient systems for one-pot reactions of propargylic alcohols 1,3-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol Ia, 1-methyl-3-phenyl-2-propyn-1-ol Ib, and 2-pentyn-1-ol Ic, with a wide range of arenes bearing activating substituents, under mild conditions. The [BMIM][PF6]/B(C6F 5)3 and [BMIM][PF6]/TfOH systems were superior in propargylation with Ib and Ic, while reaction of 3-phenyl-2-propyn-1-ol Id with activated aromatics resulted in the formation of diaryl-propanones instead. Propargylation of anisole with Ib under M(OTf)3 catalysis is highly para selective, but with TfOH or B(C6F5)3 as catalyst the ortho isomer was also formed. Steric influence of the propargylic moiety on substrate selectivity is reflected in the lack of ortho propargylation for phenol and ethylbenzene by using propargylic alcohol Ia, and notable formation of the ortho isomer employing alcohol Ib. In the later case para selectivity could be increased by running the reaction at r. t. for 10 h. The Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed reaction of 1,3-dimethoxybenzene with Ia led to minor formation of dipropargylated derivative, along with the monopropargyl product. Propargylation of the less reactive arenes (mesitylene, ethylbenzene, toluene), using Sc(OTf)3 as catalyst, led increasingly to the formation of dipropargylic ethers and propargyl ketones, with no ring propargylation product with toluene. Concomitant formation of dipropargylic ether was also observed in Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed propargylation of β-naphthol, whereas propargylation of 2-nitro and 4-nitro-aniline led to N-propargylation. The recycling/reuse of the IL was demonstrated in representative cases with no appreciable decrease in the conversions over 3 cycles. It was also shown that recycled IL could be used to propargylate a different aromatic compound. The efficacy of IL/M(OTf)3 and IL/TfOH systems for cross-breeding two propargylic alcohols or a propargylic alcohol with a non-propargylic alcohol and/or self-coupling, to form a wide variety of functionalized ethers is also demonstrated.
