Alkyne-alkene-carbonyl

Alkyne-alkene carbonylative coupling. Intramolecular carbonylative coupling of dialkynes catalyzed by Fe(CO)3 provides a route to cyclopentadienones (equation I). The more difficult carbonylative alkyne-alkene coupling to provide cyclopen-tenones (Pauson-Khand reaction) can also be effected with Fe(CO)s, but in modest yield. In an improved coupling, acetone is treated with Fe2(CO)9 to form Fe-... 

Fluoroalkyl(aryl)iodonium salts are the most stable and practically important class of alkyl(aryl)iodonium derivatives. The application of such salts as electrophilic fiuoroalkylating reagents was reviewed in 1996 by Umemoto [1017]. Perfluoroalkyl(phenyl)iodonium trifiates (FITS reagents) 764 are efficient perfluoroalky-lating reagents toward various nucleophiUe substrates, sueh as arenes, carbanions, alkynes, alkenes, carbonyl compounds, amines, phosphines and sulfides [1017]. Scheme 3.300 shows several representative examples of electrophilic perfluoroalkylations using FITS reagents. 

This formal [2h-2h-2] alkyne/alkene/carbonyl cycloaddition proceeds through the opening of the cyclopropyl carbene intermediate 1-4 by the carbonyl group to form oxonium cation 1-5, which undergoes nucleophilic attack by the vinylgold intermediates in a Prins-type cyclization to give tetrahydropyranyl cation 1-6. 

The chemoselectivity of Schwartz s reagent (1) toward alkynes, alkenes, nitriles, and carbonyl groups, and thus its general functional group compatibility, can be modulated. However, it is important to keep in mind that the presence of functional groups may have regiochemical consequences on the hydrozirconation reaction.

A second category of silene reactions involves interactions with tt-bonded reagents which may include homonuclear species such as 1,3-dienes, alkynes, alkenes, and azo compounds as well as heteronuclear reagents such as carbonyl compounds, imines, and nitriles. Four modes of reaction have been observed nominal [2 + 2] cycloaddition (thermally forbidden on the basis of orbital symmetry considerations), [2 + 4] cycloadditions accompanied in some cases by the products of apparent ene reactions (both thermally allowed), and some cases of (allowed) 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions.

Abstract The transition metal mediated conversion of alkynes, alkenes, and carbon monoxide in a formal [2 + 2+1] cycloaddition process, commonly known as the Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR), is an elegant method for the construction of cyclopentenone scaffolds. During the last decade, significant improvements have been achieved in this area. For instance, catalytic PKR variants are nowadays possible with different metal sources. In addition, new asymmetric approaches were established and the reaction has been applied as a key step in various total syntheses. Recent work has also focused on the development of CO-free conditions, incorporating transfer carbonylation reactions. This review attempts to cover the most important developments in this area. 

The 1,2-addition in solid-phase organic chemistry is also known for the addition to alkenes [258], alkynes [120], carbonyl groups [259] and imines [260]. 

Iridium-phosphine complexes were found to be efficient carbonylative alkyne-alkene coupling catalysts [62]. Although frequently applied in other transformations, the dimeric complex [ Ir( x-Cl)(cod) 2] appeared to be a very active catalyst in the coupling of silylated diynes with CO [63], giving bicyclic products with a carbonyl moiety (Scheme 14.12). 

Isosydnones (146) react with alkynes to give pyrazoles (150). For example, 4,5-diphenylisosydnone (146, R = R = Ph) and ethyl phenyl propiolate gives 4-ethoxycarbonyl-l,3,5-triphenylpyrazole (150, R = R = R = Ph, R = CO Et) identical with the product from 4,5-diphenylsydnone (1, R = R = Ph). The rate of 1,3-cycloaddition for isosydnones (146) is relatively slow in comparison with sydnones (1).2o, 04 number of other cycloaddition reactions of isosydnones with alkenes, alkynes, and carbonyl compounds have been reported. ... 

Chapter 4 centers on two key transformations in organic synthesis (1) oxidation of alcohols and of unsaturated hydrocarbons (i.e., alkenes and alkynes) to carbonyl compounds (2) reduction of various carbonyl compounds to alcohols. 

Metal complexes enable one to employ molecules that are thermally unreactive toward cycloadditions by taking advantage of their ability to be activated through complexation. Most of the molecules activated by transition-metal complexes involve C-C unsaturated bonds such as alkynes, alkenes, 1,3-dienes, allenes, and cyclopropanes. In contrast, carbonyl functionalities such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, and imines seldom participate in transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylative cycloaddition reactions. Recently, such a transformation was reported via the use of ruthenium complexes. 

A much shorter route is the Reppe carbonylation [83] of propyne. Propyne is, together with propadiene (allene), part of the C3 stream of the cracking process. The order of metal substrate binding strength is allenes>alkynes>alkenes. Thus the desired reaction can only proceed if the propadiene has been removed from the feed, since it is an inhibitor of the Pd catalyst. Equally important, the alkyne complex reacts much faster than the alkene complex. Thus the product is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor for the catalyst (Scheme 5.46).
