Preparation of (E)-1,3-Enyne Derivatives through Palladium Catalyzed Hydroalkynylation of Allenes

A general and efficient palladium catalyzed hydroalkynylation of allenes was developed to produce synthetically versatile (E)-1,3-enyne derivatives with high regio- and stereoselectivity. This catalytic system proceeded under mild conditions and was compatible with a broad range of substrates, especially for allenes without electron-bias groups. This work further broadens the synthetic potential of these scaffolds in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.

Photoredox-Catalyzed α-Aminoalkylcarboxylation of Allenes with CO2

The photoredox-catalyzed α-aminoalkylcarboxylation of aryl allenes with CO2 and N,N-dimethylanilines is reported for the first time (26 examples, up to 96% yield). In the case of electron-deficient allenes, good regioselectivity was observed (up to 94:6), exclusively generating kinetic products over thermodynamic products. This protocol is a novel synthetic method for highly functionalized β,γ-unsaturated γ-aminobutyric esters.

Trifluoromethylation of Allenes: An Expedient Access to α-Trifluoromethylated Enones at Room Temperature

A silver(I) catalyzed regioselective trifluoromethylation of allenes using Langlois's salt (NaOSOCF3) is demonstrated. This transformation enables direct expedient access to α-trifluoromethylated acroleins, which are valuable synthons for a number of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals containing vinyl-CF3 moieties. Versatility of this trifluoromethylation method has been established with good yield and excellent regioselectivity. Preliminary experiments and computational studies were carried out to elucidate the mechanistic insight of this protocol.

Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Three-Component Carboboronation of Allenes: Access to Functionalized Dibenzo [b,f][1,4]oxazepine Derivatives

A copper-catalyzed enantioselective three-component difunctionalization of allenes with seven-membered cyclic imines and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2(Pin)2) to approach functionalized dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepine derivatives is developed. The chiral products are obtained in up to 81% yield, >20:1 dr, and 98% ee when either a chiral diphosphine ligand or a chiral ferrocenyl-based P,N-ligand is used. Furthermore, the reaction exhibits reversed diastereoselectivities when the chiral diphosphine ligand and the chiral P,N-ligand are used respectively. (Figure presented.).

Fluorinative Rearrangements of Substituted Phenylallenes Mediated by (Difluoroiodo)toluene: Synthesis of α-(Difluoromethyl)styrenes

Phenylallenes undergo fluorinative rearrangement upon the action of (difluoroiodo)toluene in the presence of 20 mol % BF3?OEt2 to yield α-difluoromethyl styrenes. This unprecedented reaction was entirely chemoselective for the internal allene π bond, and showed remarkable regioselectivity during the fluorination event. Substituted phenylallenes, phenylallenes possessing both phenyl- and α-allenyl substituents, and diphenylallenes were investigated, and good functional-group compatibility was observed throughout. The ease with which allenes can be prepared on a large scale, and the operational simplicity of this reaction allowed us to rapidly access fluorine-containing building blocks that have not been accessed by conventional deoxyfluorination strategies.

Synthesis of Terminal Allenes via a Copper-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Coupling Reaction of Alkynyl Carboxylic Acids

Synthesis of terminal allenes via a copper-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reaction was developed. Aryl alkynyl carboxylic acid, paraformaldehyde, and dicyclohexylamine were reacted with CuI (20 mol %) in diglyme at 100°C for 2 h to produce the terminal allene in moderate to good yields. The method showed good functional group tolerance.

Synthesis of terminal allenes through copper-mediated cross-coupling of ethyne with N-tosylhydrazones or α-diazoesters

Ethyne is employed as coupling partner in coppermediated cross-coupling reactions with N-tosylhydrazones and α-diazoacetate, leading to the development of a new synthetic method for terminal allenes. With this novel coupling method, the terminal allenes w

Nickel-catalyzed substitution reactions of propargyl halides with organotitanium reagents

A simple and mild catalytic coupling reaction of propargyl halides with organotitanium reagents is reported. The reaction of propargyl bromide with organo-titanium reagents mediated by NiCl2(2 mol%) and PCy3(4 mol%) in CH2

Theoretical support for the involvement of a radical pathway in the formation of allenylzincs from propargyl iodides and dialkylzincs: Influence of zinc coordination

Propargyl iodides are good precursors for allenylzincs via reaction with diethylzinc, even in nondegassed medium. These reactions proceed via zinc/iodine exchange. Owing to the previously reported detection of propargyl radical by ESR experiments, in this process a radical mechanism was suspected. Calculations of the C-Zn BDEs in allenyl- and propargylzinc species were performed with the CBS-QB3 method to demonstrate that propargyl radicals could undergo homolytic substitution at zinc. The stabilization of allenylzinc derivatives by chelation, made possible by the selection of appropriate ortho-substituted 3-phenylalkynyl iodides as precursors, was shown to influence the regioselectivity of their addition to aldehydes and ketones. The more stabilized the chelated allenylzinc intermediate, the higher the ratio of homopropargylic alcohols.

Synthesis of allenes via Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of propargylic bromides with grignard reagents

We describe a convenient method for the synthesis of terminal allenes from cross-coupling of propargylic bromide with Grignard reagent. The reaction of propargylic bromide with 1.2 equivalents of Grignard reagent mediated by Ni(acac)2 (2 mol%) and Ph3P (4 mol%) in THF may produce terminal allenes in good yields and high regioselectivities at room temperature.
