Abstract
Here we report δ-C-H alkynylation to synthesize various δ-alkynols from iminophenylacetic acids. The hypervalent iodine-coordinated benziodoxole-alkoxyl-iminophenylacetic acid complex was the key intermediate and was characterized by X-ray crystallography for the first time. δ-C-H alkynylation is compatible with sensitive functional groups, including azides, aldehydes, and free alcohols, for the synthesis of δ-alkynols with diversified substituents in excellent regioselectivity. This reaction extends to δ-hydroxylalkene and δ-hydroxylnitrile synthesis, and the δ-alkynol products are easily derivatized to other valuable bifunctional building blocks.
