A ternary catalytic system consisting of a cobalt salt, a diphosphine ligand, and a Grignard reagent promotes syn-addition of an azole C(2)-H bond across an unactivated internal alkyne with high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities under mild conditions. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the reaction involves oxidative addition of the oxazolyl C-H bond to the cobalt center, alkyne insertion into the Co-H bond, and reductive elimination of the resulting diorganocobalt species.
The addition reaction of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles to alkynes via C-H bond cleavage efficiently proceeds in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This direct coupling allows a facile access to alkenyl-substituted oxadiazoles. The reaction with styrenes in place of alkynes is also available to selectively afford the corresponding branched adducts.
