Convenient synthesis of non-conjugated alkynyl ketones from keto aldehydes by a chemoselective one-pot nonaflation—base catalyzed elimination sequence
摘要:
Keto aldehydes were selectively converted to non-conjugated alkynyl ketones possessing an unsubstituted alkyne terminus using one-pot nonaflation-base catalyzed elimination reaction sequences. Consecutive one-pot nonaflation of keto aldehydes with perfluorobutane-l-sulfonyl fluoride and elimination of the nonaflyl group using the P(1) phosphazene base resulted in the formation of a terminal C C triple bond with the keto group remaining intact. Careful optimization of the reaction conditions enabled a highly chemoselective conversion of the aldehyde function in the presence of unprotected keto groups exploiting a minor difference in acidity of their alpha-hydrogen atoms. Scope and limitations of the protocol as well as possible implementation of these substrates in Sonogashira coupling were explored. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
