First practical synthesis of 2- or 3-fluoroalkylated indenols via cobalt-catalyzed [2 + 3] carbocyclization of fluorine-containing alkynes and 2-iodoaryl ketones
[2 + 3] Cycloaddition reaction of fluorine-containing alkynes with various 2-iodoaryl ketones in the presence of CoCl2(dppf) catalyst proceeded very smoothly to give the corresponding 2- or 3-fluoroalkylated indenols in 57–98% yields. These regioisomers could be successfully separated and obtained in a pure form. From X-ray crystallographic and NOESY analyses, major or minor regioisomers were determined

A highly efficient Cu(I)-catalyzed addition/annulation sequence has been developed for the synthesis of (Z)-ylidenebutenolides employing readily available alpha-ketoacids and alkynes as substrates. The reactions employ a simple commercially available Cu(I)-catalyst, display good substrate scope, and deliver products with high stereoselectivity. The synthetic utility of the method is demonstrated by the straightforward derivatization of the ylidenebutenolides into a diverse range of heterocycles, and also by the preparation of the natural product bovolide, and analogs thereof.
Facile syntheses of various per- or polyfluoroalkylated internal acetylene derivatives
Treatment of per- or polyfluoroalkylated vinyl iodides 5 with 2 equiv. of n-BuLi in THF produced the corresponding lithium acetylides in situ, which were transformed into zinc acetylides by the addition of ZnCl2.TMEDA complex into the reaction mixture. The in situ generated zinc acetylides were exposed to the cross-coupling conditions such as ArI/cat. Pd(PPh3)(4), reflux, 6-12 h, giving rise to the desired per- or polyfluoroalkylated acetylenes in high yields. In the case of trifluoromethylated acetylene, commercially available 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene 6 could also be used instead of 5 as the starting material. In the acetylenes having a fluoroalkyl group and an aliphatic side chain, vinyl iodides 7, prepared by radical addition of perfluoroalkyl iodide to terminal acetylenes, were treated with t-BuOK at room temperature or at the reflux temperature of benzene, affording the desired compounds in good yields.
