过渡金属催化的炔丙基亲电子试剂和格氏试剂的交叉偶联提供了高度官能化的产物,是极其有用的合成中间体。然而,由于具有挑战性的区域选择性,将炔丙基衍生物转化为炔丙基化合物的例子仍然有限。我们使用LaCl 3 ·2LiCl在没有配体的情况下催化格氏试剂的炔丙基化,具有高区域选择性和立体特异性。该方法显示了使用烷基或(杂)芳基格氏试剂和具有不同离去基团的炔基亲电子试剂的广泛底物范围。我们的方案进一步应用于叶毛多辛 B 的正式合成。利用天然丰富且相对无毒的镧催化剂的方法值得探索。

cross-coupling of nonactivated secondary alkylbromides and iodides with alkynyl Grignardreagents at room temperature has been developed. A wide range of secondary alkyl halides and terminal alkynes are tolerated to afford the substituted alkynes in good yields. A slight modification of the reaction protocol also allows for cross-coupling with a variety of primary alkyl halides.
A highly regioselective reduction of propargylic acetates has been attained by using SmI2 and catalytic Pd(0) in the presence of 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanol affording various types of allenes in high yields.
