Abstract

High-yielding and mild conditions are used to prepare of 1-bromo-2-alkyl- or 2-arylpent-4-en-2-ols/1-bromo-2-alkyl- or 2-arylpent-4-yn-2-ols from α-diazoketones. The reaction involves allylation/propargylation with successive bromide insertion using in situ generated allyltin bromide/or propargyltin bromide from activated tin metal and allyl/or propargyl bromide.

  • 9 General procedure: (-Diazoketone (1.00 mmol) and allyl bromide/propargyl bromide (1.50 mmol) were dissolved in THF (6.0 mL) at room temperature, then freshly activated tin metal5 (1.20 mmol) was added (Table 1) and the reaction was monitored by TLC. Aqueous saturated ammonium chloride (10.0 mL) was used to quench the reaction, and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate (2 × 10 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude product by silica gel column chromatography (Merck, 100–200 mesh) using ethyl acetate and hexanes as eluent gave the desired product. 1H and 13C NMR spectra and other analytical data of compounds 3ai have been reported previously.6,7
