Cross‐coupling reactions between propargylic alcohols and isocyanides, by means of silver catalysis, have been described. This new reaction is both atom and step efficient and is applicable to a broad scope of substrates, allowing the synthesis of a range of synthetically valuable 2,3‐allenamides in moderate to excellent yields. 相似文献
Isocyanides are versatile building blocks, and have been extensively exploited in C? H functionalization reactions. However, transition‐metal‐catalyzed direct C? H functionalization reactions with isocyanides suffer from over‐insertion of isocyanides. Reported herein is a radical coupling/isomerization strategy for the cross‐coupling of isocyanides with active methylene compounds through silver‐catalysis. The method solves the over‐insertion issue and affords a variety of otherwise difficult to synthesize β‐aminoenones and tricarbonylmethanes under base‐ and ligand‐free conditions. This report presents a new fundamental C? C bond‐forming reaction of two basic chemicals. 相似文献
A wide range of primary, secondary and tertiary propargylic alcohols undergo a Meyer–Schuster rearrangement to give enones at room temperature in the presence of a gold(I) catalyst and small quantities of MeOH or 4‐methoxyphenylboronic acid. The syntheses of the enone natural products isoegomaketone and daphenone were achieved using this reaction as the key step. The rearrangement of primary propargylic alcohols can readily be combined in a one‐pot procedure with the addition of a nucleophile to the resulting terminal enone, to give β‐aryl, β‐alkoxy, β‐amino or β‐sulfido ketones. Propargylic alcohols bearing an adjacent electron‐rich aryl group can also undergo silver‐catalyzed substitution of the alcohol with oxygen, nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles. This latter reaction was initially observed with a batch of gold catalyst that was probably contaminated with small quantities of silver salt. 相似文献
Cross‐coupling carbenes : The coupling of a propargylic ester with a diazoalkane in the presence of [RuCl(cod)Cp*] catalyst leads to the formation of functionalized conjugated dienes with high stereoselectivity. The reaction involves the cross‐coupling of a vinylcarbene fragment, arising from a ruthenium‐catalyzed propargylic ester rearrangement, with a diazoalkane carbene.
Isocyanides have been important building blocks in organic synthesis since the discovery of the Ugi reaction and related isocyanide‐based multicomponent reactions. In the past decade isocyanides have found a new application as versatile C1 building blocks in palladium catalysis. Palladium‐catalyzed reactions involving isocyanide insertion offer a vast potential for the synthesis of nitrogen‐containing fine chemicals. This Minireview discusses all the achievements in this emerging field. 相似文献
An unprecedented silver‐catalyzed difunctionalization of the isocyano group with cyclic oximes is described. This method allows efficient and atom‐economic assembly of a vast array of structurally novel and interesting pyrimidinediones, and tolerates a range of functionalities. The resulting products can be easily converted into some useful compounds. Furthermore, the method can also be applied for the late‐stage modification of a few biologically active molecules. 相似文献
The synthesis of vinyl boronates and vinyl silanes was achieved by employing a Ru‐catalyzed alkene–alkyne coupling reaction of allyl boronates or allyl silanes with various alkynes. The double bond geometry in the generated vinyl boronates can be remotely controlled by the juxtaposing boron‐ and silicon groups on the alkyne substrate. The synthetic utility of the coupling products has been demonstrated in a variety of synthetic transformations, including iterative cross‐coupling reactions, and a Chan‐Lam‐type allyloxylation followed by a Claisen rearrangement. A sequential one‐pot alkene‐alkyne‐coupling/allylation‐sequence with an aldehyde to deliver a highly complex α‐silyl‐β‐hydroxy olefin with a handle for further functionalization was also realized. 相似文献
Reductive deoxyallenylation of sterically hindered tertiary propargylic alcohols was realized on reaction with 2‐nitrobenzenesulfonylhydrazide (NBSH) by the combined use of Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysts. This method features a broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and good functional‐group tolerance, and affords various mono‐, di‐, and trisubstituted allenes in good‐to‐excellent yields. The synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated by the synthesis of 2H‐chromenes and 1,2‐dihydroquinolines. 相似文献
