Abstract

The hydration of β- and δ-hydroxy internal alkynes catalyzed by Hg(OTf)2 took place instantaneously to give ketones with complete regioselectivity under mild conditions, whereas the hydration of internal alkyne without hydroxy moiety was very slow and gave a mixture of ketones. If the hydroxy group is located more than five carbons from the triple bond it has no significant effect upon the hydration reaction.

Key words

Hg(OTf)2 - homogeneous catalysis - hydroxy internal alkyne - regioselectivity - neighboring-group effects

    When the hydration of terminal alkyne was carried out using Hg(OTf)2 as catalyst, mercuric acetylide (i) is formed to some extent, corresponding to catalyst suicide (Figure  [¹] ).

Typical Experimental Procedure
To a stirred mixture of dec-5-yn-1-ol (3, 280 mg, 2 mmol) and H2O (108 mg, 6 mmol) in MeCN (6.6 mL) was added a solution of Hg(OTf)2 (0.1 M MeCN soln, 0.2 mL, 0.02 mmol) at r.t., and the mixture was stirred for 5 min at the same temperature. After addition of Et3N (30 µL) and then brine (6 mL), the organic materials were extracted with Et2O. Dried and concentrated extract was subjected to a column chromatography on SiO2 using hexane and EtOAc (2:1) as an eluent to give 1-hydroxydecan-5-one (4, 275 mg, 90% yield) as a colorless oil.²0a
