Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Addition of Silylacetylenes to 1,1-Disubstituted Allenes
摘要:
The asymmetric addition of silylacetylenes to 1,1-disubstituted allenes proceeded in the presence of a cobalt/chiral bisphosphine ligand to give the corresponding enynes with high enantioselectivity. The results of deuterium-labeling experiments indicated that a hydrogen atom at the chiral center is originated from the terminal alkyne, and they were in good agreement with the proposed catalytic cycle where enantioselectivity is determined by the reaction of the proposed pi-allylcobalt intermediate with the terminal alkyne.
Treatment of tertiary homopropargyl alcohol with aryl halide under palladium catalysis provided arylallenes regioselectively. The reaction includes retropropargylation, which proceeds in a concerted fashion via a cyclic transition state and transfers the stereochemistry of homopropargyl alcohols through C-C bond cleavage. The present method enables the use of homopropargyl alcohols as allenylmetal equivalents.

We have developed a gold-catalyzed isomerization of unactivated allenes into 1,3-dienes with nitrosobenzene as an additive. This reaction proceeded almost exclusively at room temperature for highly substituted allenes. The utility of this reaction is manifested by the development of one-pot [4+2]-cycloaddition of allenes and reactive alkenes.
