Iridium-Catalyzed C−C Bond Forming Hydrogenation: Direct Regioselective Reductive Coupling of Alkyl-Substituted Alkynes to Activated Ketones
摘要:
commercially available alkyl-substituted alkynes, 3-hexyne 1a and 1-phenylpropyne 1b, in the presence of alpha-ketoesters 2a-2g using cationic iridium precatalysts results in reductive C-C coupling to afford , beta gamma-unsaturated alpha-hydroxyesters 3a-3f and 4a-4e and 4g, which are formed in excellent yield, with complete control of olefin geometry and, in most cases, with excellent regiocontrol. Similar levels of selectivity are observed across a range of alkynes 1c-1h. Reductive coupling of 3-hexyne 1a and alpha-ketoester 2a under an atmosphere of elemental deuterium provides the monodeuterated product deuterio-3a, consistent with a catalytic mechanism involving alkyne-carbonyl oxidative coupling followed by hydrogenolysis of the resulting oxametallacycle.
