Terminal alkynes react with propargylic carbonates at room temperature to afford the alka-l, 2-dien-4-yne 14 (allenylalkyne) in good yield with catalysis by Pd(0) and Cul[5], The reaction can be explained by the transmetallation of the (7-allenylpailadium methoxide 4 with copper acetylides to form the allenyKalk-ynyl)palladium 13, which undergoes reductive elimination to form the allenyl alkyne 14. In addition to propargylic carbonates, propargylic chlorides and acetates (in the presence of ZnCb) also react with terminal alkynes to afford allenylalkynes[6], Allenylalkynes are prepared by the reaction of the alkynyl-oxiranes 15 with zinc acetylides[7]. 

Pd(Ph3P)2Cl2(Bu3SnH, benzene) or cobalt carbonyl. The palladium method cleaves allyl esters, propargyl phosphates, and propargyl carbamates as well. 

Treatment of 4-arylamino-8-iodoquinoline 268 with propargyl alcohol in presence of iodo(phenyl)bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium and copper (I)iodide afforded 269 which upon catalytic reduction using Linder s catalyst gave 4//-pyrrolo[3,2,l-(/]quinoline 270 (97H2395) (Scheme 48). 

Another cyclisation involving 4-amino-6-methyl-3-thioxo-l,2,4-tiiazin-5-one 82 is the reaction with propargyl bromide followed by palladium(II) catalysis to yield a [1,2,4] triazino[3,4-f ][l,3,4]thiadiazine 83, or with phenacyl bromide to give 84 <96MI03 96CA(125)195597 96MI04 96CA(125)247767 >.

Later, a nickel-catalyzed cascade conversion of propargyl halides and propargyl alcohol into a pyrone in water was reported. The reaction involved a carbonylation by CO and a cyanation by KCN (Eq. 4.55).96 Recently, Gabriele et al. explored a facile synthesis of maleic acids by palladium catalyzed-oxidative carbonylation of terminal alkynes in aqueous DME (1,2-dimethoxyethane) (Eq. 4.56).97... 

Reaction with Propargyl Halides. The indium-mediated coupling of propargyl bromide with a variety of imines and imine oxides afforded homo-propargylamine derivatives in aqueous media under mild conditions.78 Propargylation of glyoxylic oxime ether in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium(O) complex and indium(I) iodide in aqueous media was also studied (Eq.11.47).79... 

Balme and coworkers reported on a procedure for the preparation of highly functionalized furans of type 2-940 (Scheme 2.210) [480]. Their approach is based on a nucleophilic Michael addition of propargyl alcohols 2-937 to alkylidene or aryl-idenemalonates 2-938, followed by a palladium-catalyzed cydization via the carban-ion 2-939. The reactions with propargyl alcohol led to the formation of only one di-... 

Another recent development in the field of palladium-catalyzed reactions with alkynes is a novel multicomponent approach devised by the Lee group. Starting from a-bromovinyl arenes and propargyl bromides, the assembly ofeight-membered car-bocycles can be realized via a cross-coupling/[4+4] cycloaddition reaction. The authors also presented the combination of a cross-coupling and homo [4+2], hetero [4+2], hetero [4+4] or [4+4+1] annulation leading to various cyclic products [147]. 

A three-component, one-pot reaction of acyl chloride, propargylic alcohol derivatives and Nal using palladium as catalyst provided trisubstituted furans as depicted in the following scheme <06EJOC2991>. 3-Chloro-4-iodofurans can also be produced when IC1 and NaCl are used in the second step. 

Likewise, an efficient one-pot multicomponent synthesis of annelated 2-amino pyridines (e.g., 17) utilizing [4+2] cycloadditions has been described <06JOC3494>. The process involves the in situ generation of 1-aza-1,3-butadiene from a palladium-catalyzed coupling-isomerization reaction of aryl halides (e.g., 18) with propargyl V-tosylamines (e.g., 19). The resulting butadiene then undergoes cycloadditions with V.S -ketene acetals (e.g., 20) to form annelated pyridines (e.g., 17). 

Air-stable palladium(O) catalyst, [(Cy3P)2Pd(H)(H20)]BF4, catalyses carbonylation of propargylic alcohols to generate dienoic acids and esters (equation 167)286. Since propar-gyl alcohols are obtained from carbonyl compounds by acetyhde addition reactions, this sequence constitutes a three-carbon homologation. a-Allenic alcohols are converted to tt-vinylacrylic acids under similar conditions (equation 168)287. 

AryT3,4-fused furans 63 are synthesized in moderate to good yields from propargyl nucleophiles and a-sulfonyl a,p-unsaturated ketones under palladium catalysis conditions... 

Palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions with aryl halides have been used to synthesize pyrazole derivatives. V-Aryl-lV-(c>-bromobenzyl)hydrazines 26 participated in a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination reaction to give 2-aryl-2W-indazoles 27 . Palladium-catalyzed cascade intermolecular queuing-cyclocondensation reaction of o-iodophenol (28) with dimethylallene and aryl hydrazines provided pyrazolyl chromanones 29 <00TL7129>. A novel one-pot synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted-2-pyrazolines 32 has been achieved with an unexpected coupling-isomerization sequence of haloarene 30, propargyl alcohol 31, and methylhydrazine <00ACIE1253>. 

Muller and co-workers reported the three-component one-pot synthesis of various pyrimidines through the in situ generation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The palladium catalyzed coupling of aryl halides bearing electron withdrawing substituents 7 with propargyl alcohols 8 produced unsaturated carbonyl compounds 9 after isomerization, which condensed with amidines 10 to form triaryl pyrimidines 11 .
