Superoxide mediated isomerization of 4-aryl-but-1-ynes to 1-aryl-1,3-butadienes
摘要:
A new role of superoxide ion in the isomerization of homobenzylic acetylenes leading to 1-aryl-1,3-butadienes is reported. The unconventional reagent 1(02 is found to be superior in performing this kind of isomerization over other the commonly used bases. For substrates containing arene moiety and triple bond connected through more than two methylene groups, and for propargylcyclohexanol the reagent selectively effected migration of the triple bond. Reactivity of 1(02 towards the substrates having disubstitution at benzylic position varied depending on the nature of the substitution, alkyl-substitution lead to isomerization to give mixture of allene (an intermediate in the isomerization of acetylene to 1,3-butadiene) and triple bond migration product; whereas phenyl-substituted compound gave 1,3-diene. The utility of the methodology was demonstrated through a Diels-Alder reaction of one of the dienes obtained by the isomerization with suitable dienophiles. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

A direct synthesis of 1,3-dienes and 1,3,5-trienes from the reaction of semi-stabilized ylides and a range of saturated and unsaturated aldehydes is reported in water as solvent, employing sodium hydroxide as base. The water-soluble phosphine oxide side product is removed simply by aqueous partitioning of the organic products.
