Stereoselective Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Hydroalkoxlation of Alkynes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the use of cationic gold complexes [Au(NHC)(CH3CN)][BF4] and [{Au(NHC)}2(μ-OH)][BF4] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) as highly active catalysts in the solvent-free hydroalkoxylation of internal alkynes using primary and secondary alcohols. Using this simple protocol, a broad range of (Z)-vinyl ethers were obtained in excellent yields and high stereoselectivities. The methodology allows for the use of catalyst loadings as low as 200 ppm for the addition of primary alcohols to internal alkynes (TON = 35 000, TOF = 2188 h-1).

Highly regio- and stereoselective intermolecular tandem reaction to synthesize chloro-substituted 1,3-butadienes.
A palladium catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective intermolecular tandem reaction of alkynes, CuCl(2) and alkenes by a sequence of chloropalladation/Heck reaction to produce chloro-substituted 1,3-dienes is achieved.
متن کاملSilver‐Catalyzed Stereoselective Aminosulfonylation of Alkynes
A silver-catalyzed intermolecular aminosulfonylation of terminal alkynes with sodium sulfinates and TMSN3 is reported. This three-component reaction proceeds through sequential hydroazidation of the terminal alkyne and addition of a sulfonyl radical to the resultant vinyl azide. The method enables the stereoselective synthesis of a wide range of β-sulfonyl enamines without electron-withdrawing ...
متن کاملGold(I)-catalyzed ring expansion of cyclopropanols and cyclobutanols.
The rearrangement of 1-alkynyl cyclobutanols and cyclopropanols to alkylidene cycloalkanones catalyzed by cationic triarylphosphine gold(I) complexes is described. The reaction tolerates terminal alkynes as well as alkyl, aryl, and halo-substitution at the acetylenic position and stereoselectively provides a single olefin isomer. The gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement is stereospecific with regard...

We report the highly efficient gold-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of internal alkynes that operates under solvent- and silver-free conditions. This new, simple, and eco-friendly protocol allows for the synthesis of a wide variety of functionalized aryl and alkyl enol esters in high yields, with Z-stereospecificity and good regioselectivities and without the requirement for purification by chroma...
متن کاملDissecting Anion Effects in Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Cycloadditions
From a series of gold complexes of the type [t-BuXPhosAu(MeCN)]X (X=anion), the best results in intermolecular gold(I)-catalyzed reactions are obtained with the complex with the bulky and soft anion BAr4F- [BAr4F-=3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylborate] improving the original protocols by 10-30% yield. A kinetic study on the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of alkynes with alkenes is consistent with ...
