Potassium base-catalyzed redox isomerization of propargylic alcohols to chalcones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chalcone derivatives are frequently found in bioactive compounds, natural products, and pharmaceuticals. In this study, we developed a KOtBu/DMF catalytic system to efficiently synthesize chalcone by isomerizing propargylic alcohols bearing aryl substituents at the 1- 3-positions. Mechanistic investigations confirmed that 1,3-hydride shift was key process for successful reaction. Our method does not involve use of transition metals possesses economic environmental benefits.

Iron-catalyzed carbometalation of propargylic and homopropargylic alcohols.
Nucleophilic addition to alkynes represents an attractive approach to the synthesis of olefins. Obstacles to this strategy include the low reactivity of alkynes toward many organometallic reagents and difficulties associated with controlling the regioselectivity of addition. Here we demonstrate that Fe(III) salts are effective precatalysts for the carbometalation of alkynes. Primary and seconda...
متن کاملDirected hydrozirconation of propargylic alcohols.
Hydrozirconation of alkynes with Cp2ZrH(Cl) (Schwartz reagent) generates vinyl zirconium species reliably, stereospecifically, and regioselectively. These organometallic reagents can participate in cross-coupling reactions, conjugate and nucleophilic additions, and can undergo carbonylation and halogenation.1 Hydrozirconation of terminal alkynes often proceeds with >50:1 selectivity to form the...

By functionalizing the privileged biphenyl-2-ylphosphine with a basic amino group at the rarely explored 3' position, the derived gold(I) complex possesses orthogonally positioned "push" and "pull" forces, which enable for the first time soft propargylic deprotonation and permit the bridging of a difference of >26 pK(a) units (in DMSO) between a propargylic hydrogen and a protonated tertiary an...
متن کاملCopper-catalyzed tandem annulation/arylation for the synthesis of diindolylmethanes from propargylic alcohols.
Various highly substituted 2,3'-diindolylmethane heterocycles were prepared from propargylic alcohols and indole nucleophiles via a transition metal-catalyzed tandem indole annulation/arylation reaction for the first time. Among the metal catalysts we examined, the most economical copper(I) catalyst provided the highest efficiency. The indole nucleophiles could also be replaced by other electro...
متن کاملBase Catalyzed Cyclization and Isomerization of 3-Propargylmercapto-1, 2,4-Triazine to Thiazolo [3,2-b][1,2,4]-Triazines
Transformation of 3-propargylmercapto-6 methyl-1, 2,4-triazin- 5 (2H)- one (1; R=CH3) to 3,6- dimethyl-7H- thiazolo [3,2-b] [1, 2, 4] triazin -7- one (2) is performed under basic condition. The formation of (2) may be mainly due to the high reactivity of acetylenes towards nucleophiles and isomerization of the intermediate.
