Visible-Light-Promoted Formation of C—C and C—P Bonds Derived from Evolution of Bromoalkynes under Additive-Free Conditions: Synthesis of 1,1-Dibromo-1-en-3-ynes and Alkynylphosphine Oxides

The controllable achievement of C—C and C—P bond formations is developed via visible-light-promoted bromoalkyne dimerization or its further transformation with secondary phosphine oxides. The 1,1-dibromo-1-en-3-ynes are formed when bromoalkyne is exposed to visible-light. While alkynylphosphine oxides are generated when bromoalkynes are mixed with secondary phosphine oxides.

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.

Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation in the Synthesis of N-Ynonylsulfoximines

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions with Cr(CO)6 as carbonyl source are key for the preparation of N-ynonylsulfoximines from NH-sulfoximines and bromoalkynes. The couplings proceed at room temperature with a wide range of substrate combinations affording the corresponding products in good yields. (Figure presented.).

Nickel-Catalyzed Difunctionalization of Alkynyl Bromides with Thiosulfonates and N -Arylthio Succinimides: A Convenient Synthesis of 1,2-Thiosulfonylethenes and 1,1-Dithioethenes

An efficient nickel-catalyzed vicinal thiosulfonylation of 1-bromoalkynes with thiosulfonates in the presence of cesium carbonate is described. An operationally simple and highly regioselective atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of alkynyl bromides provides a wide range of (E)-1,2-thiosulfonylethenes (α-aryl-β-thioarylvinyl sulfones) in moderate to high yields. The extensive substrate scope of both alkynyl bromides and thiosulfonates is explored with a broad range of functional groups. Indole-derived 1,1-bromoalkenes were also successfully explored in this 1,2-thiosulfonylation process. Moreover, the nickel-catalyzed geminal -dithiolation of alkynyl bromides with N -arylthio succinimides provides 1,1-dithioalkenes in high yields. The present protocol is reliable on gram scale, and a sequential one-pot bromination and thiosulfonylation of phenylacetylene is achieved in a scale-up synthesis. Following control experiments, a plausible mechanism is proposed to rationalize the experimental outcome and the vicinal thio-sulfonylation.

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.

Tertiary Enamide-Triggered SEAr: Domino Allylation and Enamine-Type Addition

Two unprecedented domino reactions are described, starting from ketospiro-enesulfonamides. By treatment with ZrCl4 and allylsilane, an intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution and subsequent allylation is observed. By treatment with TiCl4 and allylsilane, a double enamine-type reaction takes place, thus creating simultaneously four contiguous stereogenic centers diastereoselectively.

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.).

Cyclobutene vs 1,3-Diene Formation in the Gold-Catalyzed Reaction of Alkynes with Alkenes: The Complete Mechanistic Picture

The intermolecular gold(I)-catalyzed reaction between arylalkynes and alkenes leads to cyclobutenes by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition, which takes place stepwise, first by formation of cyclopropyl gold(I) carbenes, followed by a ring expansion. However, 1,3-butadienes are also formed in the case of ortho-substituted arylalkynes by a metathesis-type process. The corresponding reaction of alkenes with aryl-1,3-butadiynes, ethynylogous to arylalkynes, leads exclusively to cyclobutenes. A comprehensive mechanism for the gold(I)-catalyzed reaction of alkynes with alkenes is proposed on the basis of density functional theory calculations, which shows that the two pathways leading to cyclobutenes or dienes are very close in energy. The key intermediates are cyclopropyl gold(I) carbenes, which have been independently generated by retro-Buchner reaction from stereodefined 1a,7b-dihydro-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalenes.

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.

Palladium-Catalyzed Regioselective Alkynylation of Pyrroles and Azoles under Mild Conditions: Application to the Synthesis of a Dopamine D-4 Receptor Agonist

A mild and general method for the direct alkynylation of azoles such as pyrrole, indole, and 7-azaindole is described here. Using a simple catalytic system such as Pd(OAc)2 (2.5 mol %), P(tBu)2Me·HBF4 (5 mol %), and NaOAc (2 equiv) allowed the regioselective introduction of various alkynyl residues at the C-2 position of pyrroles. Interestingly, C-2 alkynylation was also observed on C-3-substituted indoles, whereas classical C-3 alkynylation was obtained on selected unsubstituted indoles and 7-azaindole. Our methodology has been illustrated by the efficient synthesis of a potential schizophrenia drug (dopamine D-4 inhibitor).
