Synthesis of 2-Alkynyltetrahydrofuran Derivatives from Tetrahydrofuran and Alkynyl Bromides
摘要:
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of 2-alkynyltetrahydrofuran was developed. The regioselective functionalization of the C(sp(3))-H bond adjacent to an oxygen atom with various alkynyl bromides has been achieved under transition-metal-free reaction conditions. Sodium fluoride was found, for the first time, to promote the efficient functionalization process remarkably. Moreover, 1,2-dibromostyrenes were also found to be effective in this method forming 2-alkenyltetrahydrofurans.

The development of novel methodologies for the functionalization of saturated heterocycles is highly desirable. Herein, we report a cheap and efficient photochemical method for the C−H functionalization of saturated O‐heterocycles, as well as the deconstructive ring‐cleavage of S‐heterocycles, employing hypervalent iodine alkynylation reagents (ethynylbenziodoxolones, EBX). This photochemical alkynylation
Visible Light-Induced Direct S<sub>0</sub> → T<sub><i>n</i></sub> Transition of Benzophenone Promotes C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H Alkynylation of Ethers and Amides
Benzophenone has an S-0 -> S-1 absorption band at 365 nm. However, the rarely reported S-0 -> T-n transition occurs upon irradiation at longer wavelengths. Herein, we employed benzophenone as a catalyst and exploited its S-0 -> T-n transition in C(sp(3))-H alkynylations with hypervalent iodine reagents. The selective benzophenone excitation prevented alkynylating reagent decomposition, enabling the reaction to proceed under mild conditions. The reaction mechanism was investigated by spectroscopic and computational studies.
