Arenes alkynyl

Support-bound triazenes, which can be prepared from resin-bound secondary aliphatic amines and aromatic diazonium salts [455], undergo cleavage upon treatment with acids, leading to regeneration of the aromatic diazonium salts. In cross-linked polystyrene, these decompose to yield nitrogen and, preferentially, radical-derived products. If the acidolysis of polystyrene-bound triazenes is conducted in the presence of hydrogen-atom donors (e.g. THF), unsubstituted arenes can be obtained (Entries 8 and 9, Table 3.47). In the presence of alkenes or alkynes and Pd(OAc)2, the initially formed diazonium salts undergo Heck reaction to yield vinylated or alkynylated arenes (Entry 10, Table 3.47). Similarly, unsubstituted arenes can be obtained by oxida-... 

A silver(I)-catalyzed reaction of l-((cyclopropylidenemethyl)-2-alkynyl)-arene with 2-alkynylbenzaldoxime led to l-((l,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-l-yl) methyl)isoquinolines with a benzo[c]furan unit in good-to-excellent yields (14CC4188). 

Using a convergent method of molecular alligator clip formation and attachment, the two thioesters 59 and 60 were synthesized. The aryl iodide 59 can be coupled to the alkynyl end (head) of the oligomers while the alkynyl arene 60 can be coupled to the aryl iodide end (tail) of the oligomers. Of... 

At present, the chemisty of selenophenes and tellurophenes is a relatively scantily studied area. Nevertheless, a number of new valuable contributions dealing with their chemistry have emerged. Electrophilic cyclization of l-(l-alkynyl)-2-(methylseleno)arenes provides a route to a variety of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[fe]selenophenes, as illustrated by the preparation of the system 88. Other useful electrophiles for similar reactions are E or NBS <06JOC2307>. Similar chemistry has also been employed in preparation of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[f>]selenophenes on solid phase <06JCC163>. In addition, syntheses of 2,3-dihydroselenolo[2,3- >]pyridines have been achieved using radical chemistry <06OBC466>. 

The tantalum(V) calix[4]arene complex 44 provides an interesting scaffold for the construction of an j -PhC2C=CPh ligand upon reaction with an excess of phenylethynyllithium (Scheme 10). The coupling reaction is presumed to proceed via bis-alkynyl 45, which is subsequently attacked at the a-carbon of one of the acetylide ligands to give anion 46, isolated as its lithium salt. The addition of a further equivalent of LiC CPh is probably prohibited by orbital constraints. ... 

Arene-solvated cobalt atoms (U) and (1, obtained by reacting Co vapor and arenes, have been found by Italian workers to promote the conversion of a,d)-dialkynes and nitriles to alkynyl-substituted pyridines [87JOM(326)C33] (Scheme 4). 

The Pd-catalyzed alkynylation is one of the most widely used —C bond formation reactions. It has been thoroughly and extensively reviewed recently15-17. So only a brief overview and a discussion of some of the most recent advances will be presented in this section. As in the case of alkenyl-alkenyl coupling, Ni catalysts have rarely been used for alkynylation, even though Ni catalysts do affect the desired alkynylation in some cases. One main reason for disfavoring Ni is that Ni can readily react with alkynes to undergo alkyne cyclooligomerization represented by arene formation. The Pd-catalyzed alkynylation can, in principle, be performed in three discrete manners, as shown in Scheme 40.

An expedient method for synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted 1-benzoselenophenes (91) by the electrophilic cyclization of various 1 -(1 -alkynyl)-2-(methylseleno)arenes (90) has been reported recently (Scheme 24). This method tolerates a wide of variety of functional groups, and proceeds under exceptionally mild reaction conditions [141], Moreover, an efficient solid phase synthesis of 91 based on a combination of palladium-mediated coupling and iodocyclization protocols has been developed [142],... 

Sodium thiophenoxide and bis phenyliodonium acetylene triflate afforded cleanly l,2-bis(phenylthio)acetylene [6]. Alkynyl iodonium salts have alkynylated several arene sulphonates which were converted into alkynyl aryl sulphones. The process is probably the best among other methods, as far as yield, availability of starting materials, non-toxicity and ease of handling are concerned.
