Copper alkynes coupling reaction

The palladium/copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of 2-iodo-3-methoxy-6-methylpyridine and terminal alkynes leads to the formation of o-methoxyalkynylpyridines which undergo electrophilic cyclization reactions to afford furo[3,2-3]pyridines in moderate yields <2005JOC10292>. A similar Pd/Cu-catalyzed reaction with hydroxypyridines and trimethylsilyl (TMS)-acetylene leads to the formation of alkynyl pyridines which cyclize to form furo[2,3- ]-pyridines in good yields <1998JME1357>.

Coupling is an important reaction of alkynes that leads to di-ynes. It occurs under a variety of condi-tions,32 but is particularly important when alkynylcopper derivatives are involved. Two classical alkyne coupling reactions involve copper derivatives. In the Glaser reaction,33 where an alkyne such as phenylacetylene reacts with basic cupric chloride (CuCl2), subsequent air oxidation gives a diyne (in this case 26 in 90% yield). 

The alkyne-alkyne coupling reaction is mostly promoted with copper-catalysts (Glaser coupling and variants). However, there are examples known for palladium-... 

The perfluoroacetylenic copper compounds undergo coupling reactions with aryl iodides and provide a useful synthetic route to the perfluoroalkyl aryl alkynes [147, 255] (equation 170) Coupling of these copper reagents with the 1-iodo-perfluoroalkynes gives the perfluorodiynes [747 255] (equation 171)...

It is interesting to note that a copper(II)-mediated coupling reaction of alkenyldialkyl- or trialkylboranes with alkynylcopper compounds, generated in situ, in the presence of various solvents and a small amount of water, gives (E)-l,3-enynes (or disubstituted alkynes) with various functional groups in reasonable yields (Eq. 4.3).12... 

Recently, Pal et al. found that (.S )-prolinol could facilitate the coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with 3-iodoflavone under palladium-copper catalysis in aqueous DMF to give 3-alkynyl substituted flavones of potential biological interest (Eq. 4.17). The coupling of iodobenzene with terminal alkynes at room temperature in water without any cosolvent was completed within 30 minutes, affording the desired product in good yield.36... 

There are many other transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions that are based on organic halides in aqueous media. One example is the coupling of terminal alkyne with aryl halides, the Sonogashira coupling, which has been discussed in detail in the chapter on alkynes (Chapter 4). An example is the condensation of 2-propynyl or allyl halides with simple acetylenes in the presence of copper salts. 

The palladium-catalyzed arylation and alkenylation of terminal alkynes with aryl or alkenyl hahdes in presence of a copper(l) co-catalyst is called Sonogashira reaction. In the same way as in the other cross-coupling reactions described before, it is possible to immobihze the alkyne or the aromatic bromides, iodides or triflates on sohd supports (Scheme 3.15). 

The most useful approaches to the synthesis of di- and poly-ynes from terminal alkynes are undoubtedly the copper-catalyzed couplings discovered by Glaser (CuCl, NH4OH, EtOH, 02)," Eglinton [Cu(OAc)2, hot pyridine or quinoline, 02], and Hay [Cu(I), tmed, 02]. Some of the many applications of these reactions are discussed in the following. 

This side-reaction is most serious in the case of acetylenes RC=CH with a relatively low acidity aliphatic 1-alkynes, e.g. 1-octyne, and acetylenic alcohols HCaC(CH2)nOH with n > 2, give reduced yields (40-50%) in the coupling reaction. In many other reactions, yields are high. Since the bromoalkyne usually has the highest "added value", economical considerations prescribe the use of an excess of the free acetylene, especially when it is inexpensive, e.g. propargyl alcohol. The mechanism of the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz reaction has not been studied in detail, but is seems likely that a copper acetylide ROCCu is formed first it often appears as a yellowish suspension.

Even higher selectivity is achieved in the palladium(II)/copper(I)-cocat-alyzed cross-coupling reactions. Conjugated enynes 76 can be synthesized with high stereoselectivity by the reaction of alkenyliodonium triflates 75 with terminal alkynes in the presence of catalytic amounts of dichloro(triphe-nylphosphine)palladium(II) and Cul in aqueous medium (Scheme 34) [59].
