Rhodium-Catalyzed Annulation of Phenacyl Ammonium Salts with Propargylic Alcohols via a Sequential Dual C-H and a C-C Bond Activation: Modular Entry to Diverse Isochromenones

Given their omnipresence in natural products and pharmaceuticals, isochromenone congeners are one of the most privileged scaffolds to synthetic chemists. Disclosed herein is a dual (ortho/meta) C-H and C-C activation of phenacyl ammonium salts (acylammonium as traceless directing group) toward annulation with propargylic alcohols to accomplish rapid access for novel isochromenones by means of rhodium catalysis from readily available starting materials. This operationally simple protocol features broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance. Importantly, the protocol circumvents the need of any stoichiometric metal oxidants and proceeds under aerobic conditions.

Mild synthesis of sterically congested alkyl aryl ethers

An efficient and transition-metal-free method is presented to access tertiary alkyl aryl ethers by arylation of tertiary alcohols with ortho-substituted diaryliodonium salts. The scope covers cyclic and acyclic aliphatic, benzylic, allylic, and propargyli

Palladium-Catalyzed Nitration of Meyer-Schuster Intermediates with tBuONO as Nitrogen Source at Ambient Temperature

A novel domino palladium-catalyzed nitration of Meyer-Schuster intermediates which were generated in situ from propargylic alcohols was developed, by the use of t-BuONO, leading to α-nitro enones in good to excellent yields at room temperature with a broa

Lithium binaphtholate-catalyzed asymmetric addition of lithium acetylides to carbonyl compounds

The asymmetric addition of lithium acetylides to carbonyl compounds in the presence of a chiral lithium binaphtholate catalyst was developed. A procedure involving the slow addition of carbonyl compounds to lithium acetylides improved the enantioselectivi

Mild conversion of propargylic alcohols to α,β-unsaturated enones in ionic liquids (ILs); A new 'metal free' life for the Rupe rearrangement

A mild and selective transition metal free protocol for the conversion of propargylic alcohols to cyclic and acyclic α,β-unsaturated enones via the Rupe rearrangement is reported. The method utilizes the Br?nsted acidic ionic liquid [BMIM-SO3H][OTf] as catalyst and [BMIM][PF 6] as solvent and offers the potential for recycling and reuse of the IL solvent. The feasibility to synthesize bicyclic fused cyclopentenone derivatives via a Rupe → Aldol → Nazarov sequence utilizing this protocol has also been demonstrated.

Lithium acetylides as alkynylating reagents for the enantioselective alkynylation of ketones catalyzed by lithium binaphtholate

Chiral lithium binaphtholate effectively catalyzed the enantioselective alkynylation of ketones using lithium acetylide as an alkynylating agent. This is the first example of the catalytic enantioselective addition of lithium acetylide to carbonyl compoun

Enantioselective alkynylation of ketones with trimethoxysilylalkynes using lithium binaphtholate as a catalyst

Chiral lithium 3,3′-diphenylbinaphtholate successfully catalyzed the alkynylation of ketone with trimethoxysilylalkyne, affording chiral tertiary propargylic alcohols in high chemical yields and high enantioselectivities. The present reaction could be extended to the alkynylation of acetylpyridine, which afforded a biologically active pyridyl propargylic alcohol in good enantioselectivity.

Enantioselective alkynylation of carbonyl compounds with trimethoxysilylalkynes catalyzed by lithium binaphtholate

Enantioselective alkynylation of aldehydes and ketones was accomplished using trimethoxysilylalkynes as alkynylating reagents and lithium 3,3′-diphenylbinaphtholate as a catalyst. Optically active propargylic alcohols were obtained in good to high chemica

Selective synthesis of allenes and alkynes through ligand-controlled, palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative hydrogenolysis of propargylic formates

Ligand-controlled regioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative hydrogenolysis of propargylic formates is described. A wide range of allenes and alkynes were obtained by using either 1,2-diphenylphosphinoethane (DPPE) or 1,6-bisdiphenylphosphinohexane (DPPH) as a catalyst ligand.

Me2Zn-mediated addition of acetylenes to aldehydes and ketones

Contrary to expectations, commercially available 2 M Me2Zn in toluene is able to promote the addition of phenylacetylene to aldehydes and ketones. This reactivity is determined by a new, unprecedented mechanism, which involves activation of the zinc reagent via coordination with carbonyl substrates that behave "ligand like". Broad scope, high tolerance to functional groups, and a simple procedure make this new method highly interesting for the synthetic chemist.
