Nickel-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Alkynylation of Acyl Fluorides with Terminal Alkynes under Copper-Free Conditions

Abstract

Nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative alkynylation of acyl fluorides with terminal silylethynes under copper-free conditions is described. This newly developed method has a wide substrate scope, affording internal silylethynes in moderate to high yields. The formation of 1,3-diynes as homocoupled products and conjugate enones as carbonyl-retentive products were effectively suppressed.

Key words

nickel catalysis - decarbonylation - silylalkynes - alkynylation - acyl fluorides - sila-Sonogashira–Hagihara reaction

• 28 Silylated Internal Alkynes 3: General Procedure An oven-dried 20 mL Schlenk tube containing a magnetic stirring bar was charged with Ni(cod)₂ (5.5 mg, 0.02 mmol, 10 mol%), DPPP (12.4 mg, 0.03 mmol, 15 mol%), 1,4-dioxane (1 mL) under dry N₂, and the mixture was stirred for 30 s at r.t. The appropriate acyl fluoride 1 (0.2 mmol), silyl alkyne 2 (0.4 mmol), and Bu₃N (0.3 mmol) were added, and the mixture was heated at 140 °C in a heating block with stirring for 24 h, then cooled to r.t. The reaction was quenched with sat. aq NH₄Cl, and the mixture was extracted with Et₂O. The combined organic phase was dried (MgSO₄) and concentrated under vacuum, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc–hexane).
