Three characteristic reactions of alkynes with metal compounds in organic synthesis

Alkynes have two sets of mutually orthogonal π‐bonds that are different from the π‐bonds of alkenes. These π‐bonds are able to bond with transition metal compounds. Alkynes easily bond with the various kinds of compounds having a π‐bond such as carbon monoxide, alkenes, other alkynes and nitriles in the presence of the transition metal compounds. The most representative reaction of alkynes is called the Pauson–Khand reaction. The Pauson–Khand reactions include the cyclization of alkynes with alkenes and carbon monoxide in the presence of cobalt carbonyls. Similar Pauson–Khand reactions also proceed in the presence of other transition metal compounds. These reactions are the first type of characteristic reaction of alkynes. Other various kinds of cyclizations with alkynes also proceed in the presence of the transition metal compounds. These reactions are the second type of characteristic reaction of alkynes. These include cyclooligomerizations and cycloadditions. The cyclooligomerizations include mainly cyclotrimerizations and cyclotetramerizations, and the cycloadditions are [2 + 2], [2 + 2 + 1], [2 + 2 + 2], [3 + 2], [4 + 2], etc., type cycloadditions. Alkynes are fairly reactive because of the high s character of their σ‐bonds. Therefore, simple coupling reactions with alkynes also proceed besides the cyclizations. The coupling reactions are the third type of characteristic reactions of alkynes in the presence of, mainly, the transition metal compounds. These reactions include carbonylations, dioxycarbonylations, Sonogashira reactions, coupling reactions with aldehydes, ketones, alkynes, alkenes and allyl compounds.

Palladium bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate) catalyzed Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira, and cyanation reactions

Palladium bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate): a structurally well-defined O-containing transition metal complex is reported as an efficient catalyst for Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The protocol was also applied successfully for cyanation of aryl halides under milder operating conditions. The system tolerated the coupling of various aryl halides with alkenes, alkynes, and organoboronic acid along with the cyanation of aryl halides providing good to excellent yields of desired products.     

1,2,3-Triazol-5-ylidene-palladium complex catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions

The bis-1,4-dimesityl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene-palladium complex (1a) successfully catalyzes the Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira coupling reactions with aryl bromides to give the corresponding alkenes and alkynes, respectively, in good to excellent yields. In the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, electron-rich, electron-poor, and functionalized aryl bromides and alkenes are tolerated, while the substrates are limited to electron-poor aryl halides in the Sonogashira coupling reaction. The palladium complex also catalyzes cross-coupling reactions with aryl chlorides to give higher yields of products than does the bis-IMes-Pd complex analogue (2), under specific conditions.     

Metal-catalyzed reactions of diborons for synthesis of organoboron compounds

Metal-catalyzed borylation of alkenes, alkynes, arenes, and organic halides with B-B or H-B compounds has been developed for the synthesis of organoboron compounds from simple organic substrates. The platinum(0)-catalyzed addition of bis(pinacolato)diboron to alkenes and alkynes provided a method for the stereoselective synthesis of cis-bis(boryl)alkanes or cis-bis(boryl)alkenes. The addition of diboron to 1,3-dienes with platinum(0) complexes provided a new access to cis-1,4-bis(boryl)-2-butene derivatives, which are versatile reagents for diastereoselective allylboration of carbonyl compounds. The first one-step procedure for the syntheses of aryl-, vinyl-, and allylboronates was achieved via crosscoupling reactions of diborons with aryl and 1-alkenyl halides or triflates and allyl acetates. Direct C-H borylation of arenes catalyzed by a transition metal complex was studied as an economical protocol for the synthesis of a variety of arylboron derivatives. Ir-catalyzed C-H borylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and benzylic positions of alkylarenes by bis(pinacolato)diboron or pinacolborane furnished aryl-, heteroaryl-, and benzylboron compounds. This article discusses the mechanisms of these reactions and their synthetic applications.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Alkenes through Sequential Iron‐Catalyzed Reductive anti‐Carbozincation of Terminal Alkynes and Base‐Metal‐Catalyzed Negishi Cross‐Coupling

The stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes is challenging. Here, we show that an iron‐catalyzed anti‐selective carbozincation of terminal alkynes can be combined with a base‐metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling to prepare trisubstituted alkenes in a one‐pot reaction and with high regio‐ and stereocontrol. Cu‐, Ni‐, and Co‐based catalytic systems are developed for the coupling of sp‐, sp²‐, and sp³‐hybridized carbon electrophiles, respectively. The method encompasses a large substrate scope, as various alkynyl, aryl, alkenyl, acyl, and alkyl halides are suitable coupling partners. Compared with conventional carbometalation reactions of alkynes, the current method avoids pre‐made organometallic reagents and has a distinct stereoselectivity.     

Nickel‐Catalyzed Stereoselective Dicarbofunctionalization of Alkynes

A nickel‐catalyzed three‐component reaction involving terminal alkynes, boronic acids, and alkyl halides is presented herein. Trisubstituted alkenes can be obtained in a highly regio‐ and stereocontrolled manner by the simultaneous addition of both aryl and alkyl groups across the triple bond in a radical‐mediated process. The reaction, devoid of air‐ and moisture‐sensitive organometallic reagents and catalysts, is operationally simple and offers a broad scope and functional‐group tolerance.     

Recent advances in diphosphination of alkynes and alkenes

1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethenes and -ethanes (DPPEs) are among representative supporting ligands in transition metal catalysts, which can promote otherwise challenging organic transformations with high efficiency and selectivity. Such bidentately coordinating ligands are conventionally prepared by nucleophilic substitution reactions of halogenated carbon electrophiles with nucleophilic metal phosphides. However, they suffer from poor functional group compatibility and/or tedious preparation of highly functionalized starting substrates. In this context, additions of phosphines to readily available and simple alkynes and alkenes have recently received significant attention. This digest paper focuses on recent developments of diphosphination of alkynes and alkenes for the synthesis of DPPE-type ligands. The reported approaches are categorized into several types of reactions, and their scope, limitation, and mechanism are briefly summarized.     

Application of organic selenides and tellurides in organic synthesis

This paper describes the progress on the synthesis of organic selenides and tellurides and their application in organic synthesis.Low valent selenium and telluronium compounds having high reducing selectivity can be used to form carbon-hydrogen bonds as special reducing reagents.Telluronium ylides can react with aldehydes and ketones by Wittig-type condensation to produce (E)-configuration alkenes stereoselectively.α-Phenylselanyl arsonium ylides were prepared by transyl-idation reaction of arsonium ylides with phenylselanyl halides which can undergo Wittig-type reactions with carbonyl compounds to give (Z)-α-selanyl-α,β-unsaturated compounds with high stereoselectiv-ity.Zirconium,tin,boron,halogen,metal or hetero-atom were introduced in organoselenium and telluronium compounds as new difunctional group reagents.Under transition metal catalysis,the corresponding cross coupling reactions provide new methods of formation of carbon-carbon double bonds,which were used in the stereoselective synthesis of     

A General Acid‐Mediated Hydroaminomethylation of Unactivated Alkenes and Alkynes

In comparison to the extensively studied metal‐catalyzed hydroamination reaction, hydroaminomethylation has received significantly less attention despite its considerable potential to streamline amine synthesis. State‐of‐the‐art protocols for hydroaminomethylation of alkenes rely largely on transition‐metal catalysis, enabling this transformation only under highly designed and controlled conditions. Here we report a broadly applicable, acid‐mediated approach to the hydroaminomethylation of unactivated alkenes and alkynes. This methodology employs cheap, readily available, and bench‐stable reactants and affords the desired amines with excellent functional group tolerance and impeccable regioselectivity. The broad scope of this transformation, as well as mechanistic investigations and in situ domino functionalization reactions are reported.     

The versatility of metal halide-quaternary ammonium salt catalysts for organic processes. From homogeneous to glass-encapsulated ion pairs

Ion pairs generated from transition metal halides and quaternary onium salts are versatile catalysts for many organic processes. Under phase transfer conditions, RhCl₃- and/or PtCl₄-Aliquat 336^® catalyze (a) double bond migration in allylic compounds, (b) disproportionation of cyclic 1,3-dienes, (c) selective transfer reduction of alkenes, alkynes, α,β-carbonyl compounds, and aroyl chlorides by polymethylhydrosiloxane, (d) hydrogenation of double, triple, and aromatic C-C bonds at room temperature, (e) cyclooligomerization of mono-, di-, and triacetylenes, and (f) addition of water, sulfur, and carbon monoxide to alkynes. In processes (a)-(c) the metal catalyst can be recovered in the aqueous phase by treatment of the reaction mixture with lipophilic anions. Two alternative methods for the recovery of the ion pair catalysts have been investigated. One is based on catalyst encapsulation in sol-gel matrices and the other employs polystyrene-supported ion pairs.
