Soft Propargylic Deprotonation: Designed Ligand Enables Au-Catalyzed Isomerization of Alkynes to 1,3-Dienes

چکیده
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 aniline. The application of this design led to efficient isomerization of alkynes into versatile 1,3-dienes with synthetically useful scope under mild reaction conditions.

Au(PPh3)Cl–AgSbF6-catalyzed rearrangement of propargylic 1,3-dithianes: formation of 8-membered 1,3-bisthio-substituted cyclic allenesw
Au-catalyzed rearrangement of alkynes has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In particular, the Au-catalyzed rearrangement of propargyl acetate generates Au–carbene species through 1,2-acetoxy migration. The Au–carbene species thus generated undergoes a variety of transformations. Moreover, Au-catalyzed rearrangement of propargyl acetate to allene through 1,3-shift of the acetoxy...

An easy and versatile Cu-catalyzed propargylic substitution process is presented. Using easily prepared prochiral dichloro substrates, readily available Grignard reagents together with catalytic amount of copper salt and chiral ligand, we accessed a range of synthetically interesting trisubstituted chloroallenes. Substrate scope and nucleophile scope are broad, providing generally high enantios...

A regioselective and stereoselective palladium-catalyzed dimerization of terminal alkynes method for the synthesis of symmetrical (Z,Z)-1,4-dihalo-1,3-dienes is presented. In the presence of a catalytic amount of PdX(2) and 3 equiv of CuX(2) (X = Cl and Br), terminal alkynes were dimerized to afford (Z,Z)-1,4-dihalo-1,3-dienes in good yields. The results showed that the effect of solvent had a ...
متن کاملEne-yne Cross-Metathesis for the Preparation of 2,3-Diaryl-1,3-dienes
Ene-yne cross-metathesis from alkynes and ethylene is a useful method to produce substituted conjugated butadiene derivatives. If this method has been used with aliphatic alkynes, it has however never been used starting from diarylacetylenes as internal alkynes. We show that the ene-yne cross-metathesis catalyzed by the second generation Hoveyda ruthenium catalyst provides the 2,3-diarylbuta-1,...
