Gold-catalyzed propargylic substitutions: Scope and synthetic developments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This personal account summarizes our recent developments in gold-catalyzed direct substitutions on propargylic (allylic, benzylic) alcohols, with various nucleophiles (and bi-nucleophiles) based on the σ- and/or π-acidity of gold(III) complexes. Synthetic developments are also briefly described.

Copper-catalyzed propargylic substitution of dichloro substrates: enantioselective synthesis of trisubstituted allenes and formation of propargylic quaternary stereogenic centers.
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...

Gold(I)-chloride-catalyzed synthesis of α-sulfenylated carbonyl compounds from propargylic alcohols and aryl thiols showed a wide substrate scope with respect to both propargylic alcohols and aryl thiols. Primary and secondary aromatic propargylic alcohols generated α-sulfenylated aldehydes and ketones in 60-97% yield. Secondary aliphatic propargylic alcohols generated α-sulfenylated ketones in...

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 کاملSynthesis of diverse indole-containing scaffolds by gold(I)-catalyzed tandem reactions of 3-propargylindoles initiated by 1,2-indole migrations: scope and computational studies.
Similar to propargylic carboxylates and sulphides, 3-propargylindoles undergo 1,2-indole migrations under cationic gold(I) catalysis. The intermediate Au-carbenoid complex may evolve through different pathways depending on the substituents at the propargylic and terminal positions of the alkyne moiety. Thus, 3-indenylindole derivatives were easily obtained through formal iso-Nazarov or Nazarov ...
