Copper-catalyzed direct transformation of simple alkynes to alkenyl nitriles via aerobic oxidative N-incorporation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel direct transformation of aliphatic terminal alkynes to alkenyl nitriles through the incorporation of a nitrogen atom into the simple hydrocarbons has been reported. The usage of inexpensive copper catalyst, O2 as the sole oxidant, broad substrate scope as well as feasibility for “late-stage modification” make this protocol very promising. Mechanistic studies including DFT calculation demonstrate a novel 1,2-hydride shift process for this novel nitrogenation reaction.

The palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira-type aerobic oxidative coupling of arylhydrazines with terminal alkynes via C-N bond cleavage has been developed; internal alkynes were afforded with a broad substrate scope. This reaction proceeds under copper- and base-free conditions with molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant and nitrogen and water as the only by-products.
