One-Pot Transformation of Ph2P(O)-Protected Ethynes: Deprotection Followed by Transition Metal-Catalyzed Coupling
摘要:
Ph2P(O)-protected ethynes were successfully transformed to arylethynes in one-pot manner through t-BuOK-catalyzed deprotection followed by Sonogashira coupling with aryl halide. The arylethynes were obtained similarly by Ph2P(O)-deprotection, stannylation of the resulting terminal ethynes, and Migita-Kosugi-Stille coupling. Deprotection followed by intramolecular Eglinton coupling could be carried out in one-pot to provide cyclic butadiynes.

A Ph2P(O)-protected alkyne underwent dephosphorylation by treatment with MeMgBr in THF with Me3Si-protection untouched. The dephosphorylation followed by a transition-metal-catalyzed coupling of the resulting terminal alkyne with aryl halides was carried out in a one-pot manner to afford the desired coupling product. Selective deprotection of Me3Si-/Ph2P(O)-protected alkynes enabled facile syntheses of expanded π-systems such as cyclic phenyleneethynylenes and unsymmetrically substituted ditriazol.
A protecting group Ph2P(O) for terminal ethyne was newly developed. This protecting group can be introduced readily to terminal ethyne by CuI-catalyzed phosphination and subsequent oxidation with H2O2. Ph2P(O)-protected ethynes remained intact in Sonogashira coupling, and their high polarity enabled easy separation of the desired coupling product from by-products. By treatment with t-BuOK, Ph2P(O)-protected
