Abstract

Effective methodology that activates selectively either end of a carbon–carbon triple bond requires key challenge of differentiating between the multitude of CC bonds present in complex organic molecule. The synthetic strategy exploited the electronic biases within the substrate and successfully achieved site–selective [bmIm]OH catalyzed CC bond functionalization under mild reaction conditions. This resulted in C-2-selective addition of phenacyl bromide on p-substituted phenyl acetylene and C-1 selective addition on the o-substituted phenyl acetylene leading to CC bond formation. The reaction proceeded smoothly with excellent yield under ambient conditions. This report demonstrates the progress on the catalytic activity of recyclable [bmIm]OH for selective CC bond formation.
