Academic literature on the topic 'Electrophilic alkynylation'

This review surveys the historical efforts addressed toward the development of the conjugate alkynylation reaction. The regio- and enantioselective conjugate alkynylation of electron-deficient double bonds, most commonly unsaturated carbonyl compounds, has been an elusive reaction for a long time. Intensive research during the last decades has resulted in the identification of a number of effective reagents and catalysts to perform this reaction. Non-stereoselective conjugate alkynylation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds was first achieved by using preformed alkynyl organometallics and later with terminal alkynes under catalytic conditions. These methods paved the way for the development of enantioselective procedures. After initial methods requiring stoichiometric amounts of chiral material, the findings by Corey on Ni-catalyzed addition of alkynylalanes and, particularly, by Carreira on Cu-catalyzed addition of terminal alkynes boosted the research on the development other asymmetric procedures catalyzed by Cu, Zn, Rh, Co, Ru and Pd complexes. The alkynylation of electrophilic alkenes conjugated with groups other than carbonyl and the alkynylation of extended conjugated systems are also discussed in the last part of this review.1 Introduction2 Non-Stereoselective Conjugate Alkynylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds3 Enantioselective Conjugate Alkynylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds4 Non-Stereoselective and Enantioselective Alkynylation of Other Electrophilic Alkenes5 γ-Alkynylation of α,β-Unsaturated Amides and δ-Alkynylation of Electrophilic Dienes6 Alternative Enantioselective Procedures7 Conclusion and Outlook

Alkynyl sulfides can be prepared via dehydrohalogenation, nucleophilic and electrophilic thiol alkynylation and catalytic C_sp–S bond formation. Each method presents certain advantages and limitations.

Le projet de recherche est centré sur le développement de nouvelles transformations catalysées par de l'or en chimie des ions N-acyliminiums. L'objectif de la première partie de ce projet est de développer une séquence 5-exo-dig intramoléculaire hydroalkoxylation/aza-Ferrier-Petasis réarrangement catalysée par l’or. Une deuxième partie du projet est consacrée à l'élaboration de la première alcynylation catalytique d'ions cycliques N-acyliminium utilisant N,O-acétals. Ce type de réaction est potentiellement une transformation importante, donnant naissance à des dérivés d'amines propargyliques. Ces derniers peuvent faire l’objet d’autres réactions conduisant à des produits naturels azotés ainsi qu’à certains analogues. Compte tenu de nos objectifs, l’intérêt principal est l'utilisation d’alkynes TMS en accord avec des complexes d'or qui ont été coordines avec des contre-ions faiblement nucléophiles. Pour élargir le champ de la catalyse basée sur l'or, il est important d'étendre la gamme de substrats et les groupes fonctionnels qui peuvent être activées par des complexes d'or. Une dernière partie est consacrée à la catalyse séquentielle qui favorise des processus catalytiques à plusieurs étapes. De cette manière, deux transformations catalytiques et fondamentalement différentes sont réalisées dans un même récipient. Ce travail nous a permis l’accès rapide et efficace à une famille de composes à structure complexe avec bons rendements. Par conséquent, il s'agit d'un sujet innovant en synthèse organique moderne qui a permis d’ouvrir la voie à de nouveaux projets<br>The research project is centred on the development of new gold catalyzed transformations in N-acyliminium ion chemistry. The objective of our first part of the project is to develop an enantioselective gold-catalyzed 5 exo-dig intramolecular hydroalkoxylation/aza-Ferrier-Petasis rearrangement sequence. This sequence could give an asymmetric and atom economic expeditious access to the structure of hydropyrrolizidines, which are known to be potential biologically active compounds. A second part of the project is devoted to the development of the first catalytic alkynylation of cyclic N-acyliminium ions using N,O-acetals. This type of reaction is potentially an important transformation, giving rise to propargylic amine derivatives amenable to further interesting synthetic manipulations en route to nitrogen-containing natural products and some analogs. Considering our objectives, key features is the use of TMS alkynes in conjunction with gold complexes that have been paired with poorly nucleophilic counter-ions. To broaden the scope of catalysis based on gold, it is important to extend the range of substrates and functional groups that can be activated by gold complexes. A final section is devoted to the sequential catalysis which designs the promotion of catalytic multistep processes. In this way, two fundamentally distinct chemical transformations are catalytically promoted in a single flask. This research area allows the rapid and efficient reach of complex molecular frameworks with improved yields and resource efficiency. Therefore, this is an exciting theme in modern organic synthesis that has recently stimulated the report of numerous excellent contributions

Na primeira parte da tese foram abordadas diversas rotas sintéticas para a preparação dos fragmentos nordeste e sudoeste do alcaloide bisindólico Raputindol D, cuja síntese total nunca foi descrita. A proposta inicial era obter o fragmento nordeste em 13 etapas a partir do composto comercial 3-metil-4-nitrofenol, utilizando como etapas-chave uma reação de Diels-Alder, uma abertura redutiva de anel e uma contração de anel com iodo(III). Empregando uma reação de Diels-Alder regiosseletiva de um intermediário silil substituído, a construção de uma unidade tricíclica linear foi alcançada com a obtenção de um único regioisômero. Entretanto, todas as tentativas de abertura de anel do alqueno oxabicíclico resultaram apenas no regioisômero não desejado, apesar dos estudos prévios com compostos modelo terem revelado que essa proposta era viável. Assim, foi possível acessar um intermediário avançado em 13 etapas e 12% de rendimento global. O fragmento sudoeste foi obtido em 3 etapas a partir do 5-bromoindol comercial, em rendimento global de 47% e empregando como etapas principais uma reação de Sonogashira e uma reação de acoplamento com 1-hidróxibenziodoxolone. Na segunda parte da tese são apresentados os resultados referentes ao estudo da etapa-chave para a conexão dos fragmentos nordeste e sudoeste, através do desenvolvimento de uma nova metodologia de &#945;-alquinilação eletrofílica de compostos carbonílicos aromáticos não-ativados com o iodo hipervalente TMS-EBX. Empregando tBuOK como base e TBAF como agente ativante, cetonas mono- e dialquiniladas foram obtidas em ótimos rendimentos. A utilização de aldeídos como substratos também se mostrou viável, o que permitiu acessar derivados de álcoois homopropargílicos em rendimentos moderados após a redução dos produtos com NaBH4 in situ. Finalmente, a aplicação da metodologia desenvolvida foi demonstrada através da preparação de um intermediário de alquinilação avançado. A atividade antiproliferativa desse composto foi investigada, mostrando-se apenas fracamente ativo com uma atividade mais pronunciada para células de carcinoma de ovário e leucemia.<br>In the first part of the thesis several synthetic routes for the preparation of the northeast and southwest fragments of the bisindolic alkaloid Raputindole D, whose total synthesis has never been described, were approached. The initial proposal was to obtain the northeast fragment in 13 steps from the commercial compound 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol, using as key steps a Diels-Alder reaction, a reductive ring opening and a ring contraction with iodine(III). Employing a regioselective Diels-Alder reaction of a silyl substituted intermediate, the construction of a linear tricyclic unit was achieved with the obtainment of a single regioisomer. However, all attempts to ring opening of the oxabicyclic alkene only resulted in the undesired regioisomer, although previous studies with model compounds revealed that this proposal was feasible. Thus, it was possible to access an advanced intermediary in 13 steps and 12% overall yield. The southwest fragment was obtained in 3 steps from commercial 5- bromoindole in 47% overall yield and employing as main steps a Sonogashira reaction and a coupling with 1-hydroxybenziodoxolone. In the second part of the thesis are presented the results regarding the study of the key step for the connection of the northeast and southwest fragments, through the development of a new methodology for the electrophilic &#945;-alkynylation of non-activated aromatic carbonyl compounds with the hypervalent iodine TMS- EBX. Employing t-BuOK as a base and TBAF as an activating agent, mono- and dialkynylated ketones were obtained in good yields. The use of aldehydes as substrates also proved to be possible, allowing to access homopropargylic alcohols derivatives in moderate yields after reduction in situ using NaBH4. Finally, the application of the developed methodology was demonstrated by the preparation of an advanced alkynylation intermediate. The antiproliferative activity of this compound was investigated, showing only weakly active with a more pronounced activity for ovarian carcinoma and leukemia cells.
