Synthesis of 2-Alkynyltetrahydrofuran Derivatives from Tetrahydrofuran and Alkynyl Bromides
摘要:
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of 2-alkynyltetrahydrofuran was developed. The regioselective functionalization of the C(sp(3))-H bond adjacent to an oxygen atom with various alkynyl bromides has been achieved under transition-metal-free reaction conditions. Sodium fluoride was found, for the first time, to promote the efficient functionalization process remarkably. Moreover, 1,2-dibromostyrenes were also found to be effective in this method forming 2-alkenyltetrahydrofurans.
Selective 1,2-dihalogenation and oxy-1,1-dihalogenation of alkynes by N-halosuccinimides
摘要:
1,2-Dihalogenation and oxy-1,1-dihalogenation of alkynes by N-halosuccinimides can be selectively realized through using different reaction conditions. alpha,beta-Dihalo alkenes were obtained exclusively using THF as solvent without using any catalyst, while alpha,alpha-dihalo ketones were synthesized using a mixed solvent of THF and H2O in the presence of FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O. Terminal aromatic alkynes are smoothly transformed into alpha,alpha-dihalo ketones on water without a catalyst. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The reaction of acetophenone hydrazones with TeCl4 in the presence of DBU gave a mixture of divinyl ditellurides and divinyl tellurides, which easily reacted with Cu powder in refluxing toluene to afford divinyl tellurides in good yields. The reaction of divinyl tellurides with bromine (1.2 eq.) gave the corresponding tellurium dibromide rather than the addition of the double bond whereas 3 molar amount
