Palladium-catalyzed desymmetric coupling reaction between silacyclobutanes and terminal alkynes for the synthesis of silicon-stereogenic allyl vinylsilanes

A palladium/TADDOL-derived phosphonate catalyzed desymmetric ring-opening coupling bewteen prochiral silacyclobutanes and alkyl terminal alkynes was developed. This catalytic system facilitates the formation of optically active allyl vinylsilane compounds featuring a quaternary silicon-stereogenic center, achieving good to high yields and moderate to good enantiomeric ratios. This approach significantly broaden the scope of ring-opening desymmetrization reactions involving silacyclobutanes under transition metal catalysis.

Dehydrative alkynylation of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones with terminal alkynes for the synthesis of 3-alkynylated 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinones.

A brand-new procedure for the synthesis of 3-alkynylated 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinones has been disclosed via a HOTf or Fe(OTf)3-catalyzed dehydrative alkynylation of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones with terminal alkynes. Aryl, alkenyl and alkyl terminal alkynes are suitable to couple with a broad range of 3-hydroxyisoindolinones to afford the desired products in moderate to good yields. This protocol features the use of an inexpensive catalyst, mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope and easy elaboration of the products.

Cycloaddition of Trifluoroacetaldehyde N-Triftosylhydrazone (TFHZ-Tfs) with Alkynes for Synthesizing 3-Trifluoromethylpyrazoles.

A transition-metal-free [3 + 2] cycloaddition between trifluoroacetaldehyde N-triftosylhydrazone (TFHZ-Tfs) and alkynes is reported. This protocol provides an operationally simple and general method for the synthesis of diverse 3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope, including aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl terminal alkynes, and electron-deficient internal alkynes. The synthetic potential of this method was further demonstrated by the synthesis of an antiarthritic drug Celecoxib in multigram scale.

Synthesis of benzofurans from terminal alkynes and iodophenols catalyzed by recyclable palladium nanoparticles supported on N,O-dual doped hierarchical porous carbon under copper- and ligand-free conditions

We herein report that a stable and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst, consisting of Pd nanoparticles supported on N,O-dual doped hierarchical porous carbon derived from naturally available and renewable biomass-bamboo shoots, which allows for highly efficient one-pot tandem reaction of o-iodophenols with terminal alkynes to synthesize biologically active 2-benzofuran derivatives under copper- and ligand-free conditions. The catalyst performed superior catalytic performance compared with the analogous Pd/C and supported on other metal oxides under otherwise identical conditions. A broad set of aryl and alkyl terminal alkynes can be effectively coupled /cyclized with various o-iodophenols to afford their corresponding 2-benzofurans in good to high yields with good tolerance of multiple functional groups. Moreover, the catalyst showed good stability and could be reused several times without significant loss of activity.

A Convergent Synthesis of Functionalized Alkenyl Halides through Cobalt(III)‐Catalyzed Three‐Component C−H Bond Addition

AbstractA CoIII‐catalyzed three‐component coupling of C(sp2)−H bonds, alkynes, and halogenating agents to give alkenyl halides is reported. This transformation proceeds with high regio‐ and diastereoselectivity, and is effective for a broad range of aryl and alkyl terminal alkynes. Diverse C−H bond partners also exhibit good reactivity for a range of heteroaryl and aryl systems as well as synthetically useful secondary and tertiary amide, urea, and pyrazole directing groups. This multicomponent transformation is also compatible with allenes in place of alkynes to furnish tetrasubstituted alkenyl halides, showcasing the first halo‐arylation of allenes.

Palladium-Catalyzed Trifluoroethylation of Terminal Alkynes with 1,1,1-Trifluoro-2-iodoethane

An efficient C(sp)-CH(2)CF(3) bond-forming reaction via Pd-catalyzed 2,2,2-trifluoroethylation of aryl and alkyl terminal alkynes has been developed. This protocol proceeds under mild conditions using the readily available and cheap reagent CF(3)CH(2)I as the source of the CH(2)CF(3) group. Various terminal aryl alkynes as well as alkylacetylenes can be transformed into the corresponding trifluoroethylated products in good-to-excellent yields. The method is tolerant of carbonyl, nitro, ester, cyano, and even formyl groups.
