AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of propargyl alcohols and alkynes proceeds with excellent regiochemical control with an underlying electronic preference that can be supplemented by ligand size effects. The products obtained may be readily converted to substructures that are not directly available by an aldehyde-alkyne reductive coupling. A simple model for how steric and electronic factors are both important in governing regiochemistry in couplings of this type is presented, along with examples of how the effects can combine in either a constructive or destructive manner.

α-Hydroxy ketones are a crucial class of organic compounds prevalent in natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. The CO-promoted hydration of propargylic alcohols is an efficient method for the synthesis of α-hydroxy ketones. Herein, an ionic liquid (IL) was designed to catalyze this reaction individually under atmospheric CO pressure, volatile organic solvents, and additives.

A new sequential deprotonation strategy of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and propargyl alcohol in the presence of a base was developed for the generation of the α-hydroxyl carbanion, which enables rapid and controllable access to a wide range of valuable highly functionalized furans in one pot from alkynes and aldehydes under transition-metal- and additive-free conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed the crucial role of the base and DMSO. More importantly, deuterium labeling experiments confirmed the formation of the α-hydroxyl carbanion.

An efficient dehydrative coupling of propargylic alcohols with diarylphosphine oxides to construct tetrasubstituted allenylphosphoryl compounds in the presence of a Pd/Brønsted acid co-catalyst has been developed. As a benefit from the use of a Brønsted acid, this reaction could perform under mild conditions with excellent yields, accommodating a wide range of functional groups. The potential utility of this method has also been demonstrated.

Deoxyfluorination is one of the most practical methods for introducing fluorine atoms, since hydroxyl groups are commonly found in organic small molecules. Traditional fluorination methods often rely on hazardous fluorinating reagents. Herein, we report the deoxyfluorination of propargyl alcohols using sulfur hexafluoride (SF) as a safe fluorinating agent under photocatalytic conditions.

The direct enantioselective functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds in organic molecules could fundamentally transform the synthesis of chiral molecules. In particular, the enantioselective oxidation of these bonds would dramatically change the production methods of chiral alcohols and esters, which are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Remarkable advances have been made in the enantioselective construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds through the C(sp)-H bond functionalization.
