Trialkylborane-Mediated Multicomponent Reaction for the Diastereoselective Synthesis of Anti-δ,δ-Disubstituted Homoallylic Alcohols

The trialkylborane/O2-mediated reaction of propargyl acetates having a tributylstannyl group at an alkyne terminus with aldehydes in a THF-H2O solvent system gave anti-δ,δ-disubstituted homoallylic alcohols with good to high diastereoselectivity. Intriguingly, two alkyl groups derived from trialkylborane were embedded into the reaction product. The trialkylborane plays a key role not only as a radical initiator but also as a source of alkyl radicals.

Trialkylborane-Mediated Propargylation of Aldehydes Using γ-Stannylated Propargyl Acetates

A transition-metal-free three-component process that combines aldehydes, 3-(tributylstannyl)propargyl acetates formed in situ from readily available propargyl acetates, and trialkylboranes provides access to a range of 1,2,4-trisubstituted homopropargylic alcohols. The addition of diisopropylamine plays a crucial role in the selective formation of homopropargylic alcohols. Importantly, this methodology can be extended to a single-flask reaction sequence starting from propargyl acetates.

Silver(I)-catalyzed reaction between pyrazole and propargyl acetates: Stereoselective synthesis of the scorpionate ligands (E)-allyl-gem-dipyrazoles (ADPs)

The reaction between readily accessible pyrazole and propargyl acetates in the presence of Ag(I) catalyst yielded a new class of (E)-allyl-gem-dipyrazole scorpionate ligands: 1-aryl-2-N-pyrazolyl allyl acetates and 1,3-dipyrazolyl-3-arylpropene. The reaction showed broad substrate scope, and various functional and protecting groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions. The palladium(II) scorpionate complex could thus be easily prepared and successfully employed in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings in water.

Gold-catalyzed regioselective hydration of propargyl acetates assisted by a neighboring carbonyl group: Access to α-acyloxy methyl ketones and synthesis of (±)-actinopolymorphol B

A general atom-economical approach for the synthesis of α-acyloxy methyl ketone is demonstrated through regioselective hydration of a wide range of propargyl acetates. Readily available catalyst comprising of 1% Ph 3PAuCl and 1% AgSbF6 in dioxane-H2O efficiently hydrolyzes the terminal alkynes of the propargyl acetate in the absence of acid promoters at ambient temperature within a short time. Effective regioselective hydration is facilitated by the neighboring carbonyl group as demonstrated through 18O-labeling study. Compatibility of functional moieties and tolerance to various acid-labile protecting groups are observed. The catalytic condition is also suitable to perform hydration of TMS-substituted propargyl acetates, even though it requires prolonged reaction time for completion. Stereointegrity of the propargylic acetate is preserved during the hydration. The robustness of the system is successfully demonstrated through gram scale preparation of the product in nearly quantitative yield. The common α-acyloxy methyl ketone is transformed to 1,2-diol and 1,2-amino alcohol derivatives. Synthesis of actinopolymorphol B is achieved for the first time involving hydration of the propargyl acetate as the key step.
