BF3·Et2O promoted conjugate addition of ethanethiol to electron-deficient alkynes

An effective method for the synthesis of vinyl thioethers through the conjugate addition of ethanethiol to electron-deficient alkynes promoted by BF₃Et₂Ohas been developed.Electron-deficient internal alkynes react with ethanethiol in this system to yield mainly Z-isomer of vinyl thioether adducts,while electron-deficient terminal alkynes afford mainly E-isomer of vinyl thioether adducts.     

Synthesis of beta,beta-disubstituted vinyl boronates via the ruthenium-catalyzed Alder ene reaction of borylated alkynes and alkenes

Ruthenium-catalyzed Alder ene reactions between borylated alkynes and terminal alkenes give the corresponding beta,beta-disubstituted vinyl boronates with high selectivity for the branched isomer. The stereochemistry of the vinyl boronate moiety was the result of a formal trans addition of the ene subunit across the alkyne, which is the opposite stereochemical outcome observed for other internal alkynes.     

Catalytic CN Bond Alkynylation of N‐Benzylic Sulfonamides with Terminal Alkynes

A new cross‐coupling reaction of N‐benzylic sulfonamides with terminal alkynes for the synthesis of internal alkynes is reported. In the presence of 5 mol% of (Tf)₂NH/Bi(OTf)₃ (1:1), a broad range of N‐benzylic sulfonamides react smoothly with arylacetylenes to afford structurally diverse internal alkynes in moderate to excellent yields. We reasoned that vinyl cations could be formed by the regioselective attack of terminal alkynes with benzyl cations generated in situ from N‐benzylic sulfonamides under acidic conditions, which then eliminated to form a carbon‐carbon triple bond.     

Hydrosilylation of alkynes catalysed by platinum on titania

The heterogeneous hydrosilylation of alkynes catalysed by platinum on titania is reported. A variety of hydrosilanes react with both terminal and internal alkynes to furnish the corresponding vinyl silanes in high yields and short reaction times as well as in a regio- and stereoselective manner. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused in several consecutive cycles.     

Enantiospecific Alkynylation of Alkylboronic Esters

Enantioenriched secondary and tertiary alkyl pinacolboronic esters undergo enantiospecific deborylative alkynylation through a Zweifel‐type alkenylation followed by a 1,2‐elimination reaction. The process involves use of α‐lithio vinyl bromide or vinyl carbamate species, for which application to Zweifel‐type reactions has not previously been explored. The resulting functionalized 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes undergo facile base‐mediated elimination to generate terminal alkyne products in high yield and excellent levels of enantiospecificity over a wide range of pinacolboronic ester substrates. Furthermore, along with terminal alkynes, internal and silyl‐protected alkynes can be formed by simply introducing a suitable carbon‐ or silicon‐based electrophile after the base‐mediated 1,2‐elimination reaction.     

Vinyl Triflimides—A Case of Assisted Vinyl Cation Formation

A new concept for selectivity control in carbocation‐driven reactions has been identified which allows for the chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective addition of nucleophiles to alkynes—assisted vinyl cation formation—enabled by a Li⁺‐based supramolecular framework. Mechanistic analysis of a model complex (Li₂NTf₂⁺?3 H₂O) confirms that solely the formation of a complex between the incoming nucleophile and the transition state of the alkyne protonation is responsible for the resulting selective N addition to the vinyl cation. Into the bargain, a general, operationally simple synthetic procedure to previously inaccessible vinyl triflimides is provided.     

Anti-Markovnikov stereoselective hydroamination and hydrothiolation of (hetero)aromatic alkynes using a metal-free cyclic trimeric phosphazene base

Hydroamination and hydrothiolation are the most efficient and completely atom-economical process to construct important enamine and vinyl sulfide intermediates in pharmaceutical and organic chemistry. The cyclic trimeric phosphazene base (CTPB) showed great catalytic activity for the anti-Markovnikov stereoselective hydroamination and hydrothiolation of alkynes in good to excellent yields. A broad substrate scope of alkynes and nucleophiles was demonstrated, including aryl and heteroaryl alkynes, terminal and internal alkynes, different N-heterocycles, thiols and thiophenols. This versatile and cost-efficient approach with good stereoselectivity and excellent functional group tolerance provided new opportunity for the organocatalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkynes.     

Catalytic Activation of Olefins by Metal Triflates and Triflimides: Application to Fragrance Chemistry

Fragrance compounds constitute a wide family of relatively volatile compounds presenting interesting odour properties. Several processes catalysed by metal triflates and triflimides have been recently developed with a view to applications to fragrance chemistry. These reactions, involving the activation of non‐activated olefins, mainly involve inter‐ and intramolecular carbon–carbon, carbon–oxygen and carbon–sulfur bond formation.     

Regio‐ and Stereoselective Chlorocyanation of Alkynes

A variety of terminal and internal alkynes were converted regio‐ and stereoselectively into (Z )‐3‐chloroacrylonitriles by treatment with BCl₃ in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of imidazolium thiocyanates. These products could be readily functionalized to provide useful building blocks, thus demonstrating the synthetic value of the method. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest initial activation of the cationic thiocyanate by the Lewis acid, followed by electrophilic attack of the alkyne. The syn addition of a chloride to the vinyl cation intermediate and final elimination of the thiourea unit afford the desired chloroacrylonitriles.     

Homolytic N−S Bond Cleavage in Vinyl Triflimides Enabled by Triplet–Triplet Energy Transfer

Vinyl triflimides are a new compound class with unknown reactivity. A computational analysis identified homolytic cleavage of the N−Tf bond induced by triplet–triplet energy transfer (EnT) as a highly interesting reaction type that might be accessible. A combination of experimental and mechanistic work verified this hypothesis and proved the generated radicals to be amenable to radical–radical coupling. Thereby, vinyl triflimides were transformed into a range of α-quaternary, β-trifluoromethylated amines in a 1,2-difunctionalization reaction with no need for external CF₃ reagents.     

Rhodium-Catalyzed Reaction of Aroyl Chlorides with Alkynes

Aroyl chlorides react with terminal alkynes accompanied by decarbonylation in the presence of a catalytic amount of [RhCl(cod)](2) and PPh(3) to give the corresponding vinyl chloride derivatives regio- and stereoselectively in good yields. The catalyst efficiency is a marked function of the ratio of PPh(3) to the rhodium species; satisfactory results are obtained by employing a PPh(3)/Rh ratio of 1.0. The reaction may involve chlororhodation to the alkynes by the intermediary arylchlororhodium(III) species generated in situ followed by reductive elimination of the products, which are suggested by the results of some control experiments. In contrast to the reaction with terminal alkynes, that with some internal ones proceeds without decarbonylation to produce 2,3-disubstituted-1-indenones as the predominant products. The product structures suggest that, while the arylchlororhodium intermediate is also involved, arylrhodation to the alkynes, reinsertion of CO (coordinated to the metal), and intramolecular cyclization sequentially take place to give the indenones.     

Palladium-catalyzed benzannulation from alkynes and allylic compounds

Various alkynes reacted with allyl tosylates in the presence of palladium catalysts, giving polysubstituted benzenes with good to high regioselectivity. Pentasubstituted and trisubstituted benzenes were readily prepared by reaction of internal alkynes and terminal alkynes, respectively. The combination of allyl alcohols and p-toluenesulfonic anhydride could be utilized in place of isolated allyl tosylates. The cyclization of diynes with allyl tosylate afforded bicyclic compounds containing an aromatic ring.     

Markovnikov‐Selective Radical Addition of S‐Nucleophiles to Terminal Alkynes through a Photoredox Process

Direct radical additions to terminal alkynes have been widely employed in organic synthesis, providing credible access to the anti‐Markovnikov products. Because of the Kharasch effect, regioselective control for the formation of Markovnikov products still remains a great challenge. Herein, we develop a transition‐metal‐free, visible light‐mediated radical addition of S‐nucleophiles to terminal alkynes, furnishing a wide array of α‐substituted vinyl sulfones with exclusive Markovnikov regioselectivity. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that radical/radical cross‐coupling might be the key step in this transformation. This radical Markovnikov addition protocol also provides an opportunity to facilitate the synthesis of other valuable α‐substituted vinyl compounds.     

Copper-catalyzed hydrative amide synthesis with terminal alkyne, sulfonyl azide, and water

It is shown for the first time that N-sulfonyl amides can be efficiently prepared by an unconventional approach of the hydrative reaction between terminal alkynes, sulfonyl azides, and water in the presence of copper catalyst and amine base under very mild conditions. The present route is quite general, and a wide range of alkynes and sulfonyl azides are readily coupled catalytically with water to furnish amides in high yields. A variety of labile functional groups are tolerated under the conditions, and the reaction is regioselective in that only terminal alkynes react while double or internal triple bonds are intact. The reaction can be readily scaled up and is also adaptable to a solid-phase procedure with high efficiency.     

AIBN-initiated radical addition of gem-difluorinated alkyl iodides to alkynes and the Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction of E-phenyl difluoromethylene vinylic iodides with terminal alkynes

The addition of gem-difluorinated alkyl iodides to alkynes initiated by AIBN neatly gave the corresponding difluoromethylene vinyl iodides among which the stereoselectivity of aromatic acetylenes was high. The further coupling reaction of E-phenyl difluoromethylene vinyl iodides with terminal alkynes in the presence of catalytic palladium afforded the substituted difluorinated enynes.     

NbCl3-catalyzed three-component [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of terminal alkynes, internal alkynes, and alkenes to 1,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes

Three-component [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of terminal alkynes, internal alkynes, and terminal alkenes is achieved using an NbCl(3)(DME) catalyst, leading to 1,3,4,5-substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes in excellent yields with high chemo- and regioselectivity.     

Metal-free synthesis of quinolines by direct condensation of amides with alkynes: revelation of N-aryl nitrilium intermediates by 2D NMR techniques

Employing triflic anhydride/2-fluoropyridine as an activation system, the coupling reactions of secondary N-aryl amides with terminal alkynes yielded substituted quinolines in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction tolerated both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups at the benzamide moiety. Electron-rich aryl acetylenes served as excellent coupling partners, and aliphatic terminal alkynes such as cyclopropyl and conjugate vinyl acetylenes could also be used as reaction partners. By means of 2 D NMR techniques(heteronuclear multiple bond correlation(HMBC), heteronuclear single quantum correlation(HSQC)),nitrilium ions were probed as reactive intermediates which are in contrast with that suggested by Movassaghi on the basis of in situ IR monitoring experiments. On the basis of these results, a plausible mechanism for the formation of quinolines was suggested.     

Synthesis of trans-Disubstituted Alkenes by Cobalt-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Terminal Alkynes with Activated Alkenes

A cobalt-catalyzed reductive coupling of terminal alkynes, RC?CH, with activated alkenes, R'CH?CH(2) , in the presence of zinc and water to give functionalized trans-disubstituted alkenes, RCH?CHCH(2) CH(2) R', is described. A variety of aromatic terminal alkynes underwent reductive coupling with activated alkenes including enones, acrylates, acrylonitrile, and vinyl sulfones in the presence of a CoCl(2) /P(OMe)(3) /Zn catalyst system to afford 1,2-trans-disubstituted alkenes with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Similarly, aliphatic terminal alkynes also efficiently participated in the coupling reaction with acrylates, enones, and vinyl sulfone, in the presence of the CoCl(2) /P(OPh)(3) /Zn system providing a mixture of 1,2-trans- and 1,1-disubstituted functionalized terminal alkene products in high yields. The scope of the reaction was also extended by the coupling of 1,3-enynes and acetylene gas with alkenes. Furthermore, a phosphine-free cobalt-catalyzed reductive coupling of terminal alkynes with enones, affording 1,2-trans-disubstituted alkenes as the major products in a high regioisomeric ratio, is demonstrated. In the reactions, less expensive and air-stable cobalt complexes, a mild reducing agent (Zn) and a simple hydrogen source (water) were used. A possible reaction mechanism involving a cobaltacyclopentene as the key intermediate is proposed.
