Chiral Propargyl Alcohols via the Enantioselective Addition of Terminal Di- and Triynes to Aldehydes
摘要:
The enantioselective addition of di- and triynes to aldehydes is presented, including the first examples of an asymmetric triyne addition. Modification of the Carreira alkynylation protocol shows that addition of diynes and triynes to alpha-branched aldehydes can be complete in as little as 4 h, and these reactions give good yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) for di- and triynes tested (aryl, alkyl, and silyl). It is shown for two cases (20 and 24) that products of this asymmetric addition reaction can undergo further manipulation (desilylation and triazole formation) without affecting the enantiopurity.

Unsymmetrically substituted 1,3-butadiynes and 1,3,5-hexatriynes are synthesized in four steps from commercially available aldehydes or carboxylic acids. The key step in this process involves a Fritsch-Buttenberg-Wiechell rearrangement, in which an alkylidene carbenoid intermediate subsequently rearranges to the desired polyyne. This rearrangement proceeds under mild conditions, and it is tolerant

The reaction of benzyl azide with terminal di-, tri-, and tetraynes appended with a range of functional groups has been explored. Standard reaction conditions for BnN3 catalyzed by CuSO(4)(.)5H(2)O gave alkynyl, butadiynyl, and hexatriynyl triazoles in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds regioselectively as determined by the X-ray crystallographic analysis of three derivatives (1c, 1d, and 3c), and no evidence of multiple azide addition to the polyyne framework is observed.

A series of alpha,omega-diarylpolyynes has been synthesized. In addition to the synthesis of three hexaynes (3a-c), a notably improved synthesis of 1,16-diphenylhexadecaoctayne (5) is described. The third-order nonlinear optical characteristics for these molecules have been studied and show a substantial increase in molecular hyperpolarizability (gamma) as a function of increasing length. The unusual solid-state structures of compounds 3a and 3b are reported.

Terminal di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentaynes substituted with a variety of functional groups react with benzyl azide in the presence of CuSO4 center dot 5H(2)O and ascorbic acid to give derivatives of 4-ethynyl-, 4-butadiynyl-, 4-hexatriynyl-, and 4-octatetraynyl-,2,3-triazoles in moderate to good yields. These reactions appear to proceed regioselectively, and functionalization occurs exclusively at the terminal alkyne moiety. As well, no evidence of multiple azide additions to the polyyne framework is observed. X-ray crystallographic analysis of nine derivatives is used to document the regioselectivity of the reaction as well as outline structural characteristics of the 1,2,3-triazole products.
