Gold-Catalyzed Intermolecular [4+2] Annulation of 2-Ethynylanilines with Ynamides: An Access to Substituted 2-Aminoquinolines

A gold-catalyzed intermolecular [4+2] annulation of easily accessible 2-ethynylanilines with ynamides offers a highly region-selective, modular, efficient, and atom-economical strategy for the synthesis of substituted 2-aminoquinolines in up to 93% yield. (Figure presented.).

A Traceless Tether Strategy for Achieving Formal Intermolecular Hexadehydro-Diels-Alder Reactions

A synthetic strategy formally equivalent to an intermolecular hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction is described. Sulfur-based linkers were designed and constructed by joining terminal alkynes or diynes using alkyne thiolate chemistry. The resulting tetraynes and triynes successfully underwent HDDA cyclization and benzyne trapping. Linker removal by reductive desulfurization was uneventful. The strategy was also found suitable for the tetradehydro-Diels-Alder (TDDA) reaction.

Regio- and Stereoselective N-addition to an Open Bromo Vinyl Cation

A protocol for the synthesis of thus far inaccessible bromo vinyl triflimides is presented. Our previously reported concept of assisted vinyl cation formation was engaged to achieve both a protonation of relatively electron poor bromo alkynes and a reaction with high regio- and stereoselectivity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first stereoselective addition of an N-nucleophile to an open β-halovinyl cation.

Chemo- And regioselective click reactions through nickel-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition

Metal-catalyzed cycloaddition is an expeditious synthetic route to functionalized heterocyclic frameworks. However, achieving reactivity-controlled metal-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions from competing internal alkynes has been challenging. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of unsymmetrical alkynes with organic azides to afford functionalized 1,2,3-triazoles with excellent regio- and chemoselectivity control. Terminal alkynes and cyanoalkynes afford 1,5-disubstituted triazoles and 1,4,5-trisubstituted triazoles bearing a 4-cyano substituent, respectively. Thioalkynes and ynamides exhibit inverse regioselectivity compared with terminal alkynes and cyanoalkynes, affording 1,4,5-trisubstituted triazoles with 5-thiol and 5-amide substituents, respectively. Density functional theory calculations are performed for the elucidation of the reaction mechanism. The computed mechanism suggests that a nickellacyclopropene intermediate is generated by the oxidative addition of the alkyne substrate to the Ni(0)-Xantphos catalyst, and the subsequent C-N coupling of this intermediate with an azide is responsible for the chemo- and regioselectivity.

Visible-Light-Promoted Oxo-Sulfonylation of Ynamides with Sulfonic Acids

A visible-light-promoted oxo-sulfonylation of ynamides with sulfonic acids is reported, giving rise to a collection of functionalized α-sulfonylated amides in a straightforward manner. The reaction proceeds sequentially through a cascade of electrophilic addition and photoinduced sulfonyl radical-sustained skeleton rearrangement. The high atom economy, mild reaction conditions, and wide substrate scope comprised the merits of this synthetic transformation.

A Micellar Catalysis Strategy for Amidation of Alkynyl Bromides: Synthesis of Ynamides in Water

Copper-catalyzed amidation of alkynyl bromides can be carried out in water for the first time, which is made possible by a micellar catalysis strategy using rosin-based surfactant APGS-550-M. The surfactant can be easily prepared from natural abundant biomass, resin acids. Studies as to substrate scope and reaction aqueous medium recycling showcase the ease and sustainability of this technology.

Synthesis of o-Allyloxy(ethynyl)benzene Derivatives by Cu-Catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura-Type Reaction and Their Transformations into Heterocyclic Compounds

We have found that Suzuki–Miyaura-type reactions of o-allyloxy(bromoethynyl)benzenes with arylboronic acids using a hydrazone/Cu catalyst system proceeded smoothly in iPrOH under mild conditions to afford the corresponding o-allyloxy(arylethynyl)benzene derivatives in good yields without decomposition of the allyloxy group. We have further demonstrated that annulation and enyne metathesis of the o-allyloxy(arylethynyl)benzene derivatives using transition-metal catalysts led to various heterocyclic compounds.

Direct Metal-Free Entry to Aminocyclobutenes or Aminocyclobutenols from Ynamides: Synthetic Applications

The [2+2] cycloaddition of ynamides with the highly polarized reagent Tf2C=CH2has been developed to regioselectively afford bis(triflyl)aminocyclobutenes in the absence of catalyst under mild conditions. Incidentally, with the ynamides bearing electron-rich aromatic rings at the C-terminal, an interesting reactivity switch was observed; a cyclization/hydroxylation sequence yielded 2-amino-3-(triflyl)cyclobut-2-enols. Aminocyclobutene construction with addition of alcohols resulted in the formation of aminocyclobutenyl ethers through a cyclization/hydroalkoxylation process. Moreover, the utility of functionalized aminocyclobutenes as precursors for further elaboration was demonstrated with the preparation of α-amino-β,γ-unsaturated ketones and 3-(triflyl)buta-1,3-dien-2-amines through 4 π-electrocyclic ring opening.

Copper-catalyzed N-alkynylations of sulfoximines with bromoacetylenes

N-Alkynylated sulfoximines have been obtained by copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions starting from NH-sulfoximines and bromoacetylenes in moderate to good yields. The reaction conditions are mild, and the substrate scope is wide.

Copper catalyzed decarboxylative alkynylation of quaternary α-cyano acetate salts

Cu-catalyzed decarboxylative alkynylation of quaternary α-cyano acetate salts with alkynyl bromides and alkynyl chlorides is described. This new reaction can be used for preparing functionalized butynenitrile derivatives.
