Experimental and theoretical study of tunable 1,3-lithium shift of proparglie/allem lie species, transmetallation and Pd-catalyzed crosscoupling reactions

The highly selective tuning of the isomerization from 1-arylalka1,2-dien-l- yllithium to l-arylalka-1,2dien-3-yllithium has been realized in the deprotonation of 1-arylalk-l-yne (conditions A and B) and carbolithiation of l-arylbut-3-en-l-yne with alkyllithium (conditions C and D). Subsequent transmetallation and Pd-catalyzed Negishi coupling reactions afforded 1,1-diaryl or 1,3-diaryl alienes with high selectivity. Deuterium-labeling cross experiments indicated that an intermolecular lithiation process occurred in both 1,3-lithium shift conditions (conditions B and D). 1-Arylalka1,2-diene was confirmed experimentally to be the intermediate. A computational study at the B3LYP level for the isomerization indicated that the acidity of H at the 3-position is higher than that of the H at the 1-position of 1phenyl-l,2-butadiene. Under conditions B, (Pr2NH acts as a proton carrier to finish the 1,3-lithium shift. The overall activation barrier for the rate-determining step in the solvated models is ≈ 21.0 kcal mol-1, indicating that the isomerization is reasonable at room temperature. For the isomerization under conditions D, DFT calculations indicated that the addition of TMEDA (tetramethylethylenediamine) and HMPA (hexamethylphosphoramide) changes the global minimum of the system; among the possible mechanisms (P1-P5) considered, the mechanism catalyzed by dilithiated species (P5) is the most probable one. The overall activation barriers for isomerization in THF and TMEDA solvated models are 22.6 and 19.7 kcal mol-1, respectively, proving that the isomerization may proceed at RT in THF or at -78°C with TMEDA, due to the fact that the solvation of the additives may increase the concentration of 1-phenyl1,2-butadienyllithium monomer by a deaggregation effect.

A 1,3-lithium shift of propargylic/allenylic lithium and the subsequent transmetalation coupling reaction with aryl halides

The lithiation reagent and temperature may be the key factors controlling the 1,3-lithium shift of propargylic/allenylic lithium (see scheme). Under the right conditions, 1,1-diarylallenes and 1,3-diarylallenes can be easily and highly selectively synthes

Highly efficient catalytic synthesis of substituted allenes using indium

Versatile, convenient, mild: Allenylindium intermediates generated from the reaction of indium with propargyl bromides were employed as effective coupling partners in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with a variety of electrophiles to produce allenes, polyallenes, and unsymmetrical bis(allenes) in excellent yields with complete regioselectivity and chemoselectivity (see scheme for one example).

Photocyclization between Quinones and Allenes via Photoinduced Electron Transfer

Photochemical reactions of halo-1,4-naphthoquinones with 1,1-diphenylallenes afforded spiropyran adducts derived from cycloaddition between carbonyl group of quinone and allene in good yield.In the photoreactions of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with monophenylallenes, cycloadducts were obtained in addition to spiropyran derivatives.Considering the relationship between formation of spiropyran adducts and the free energy changes (ΔG) together with substituent effects, solvent effects, and CIDNP (chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization), we propose an electron-transfer mechanism.That is, radical ion pair formation from excited triplet quinone and allene is followed by conversion to a biradical.Subsequent bond formation between the ketyl radical in quinone moiety and ortho position of the phenyl substituents on the allene skeleton leads to the spiropyran adduct after subsequent 1,5-hydrogen shift.
