Elemental Iodine-CatalyzedCoupling of Alkynylsilanes with Acid Chlorides: A Facile Synthesisof α,β-Acetylenic Ketones

Abstract

Alkynylsilanes undergo coupling smoothly with acid chloridesin the presence of molecular iodine under mild reaction conditionsto afford the corresponding α,β-acetylenic ketonesin excellent yields in a short reaction time with high selectivity.

alkynylsilanes - iodine - acid chlorides - α,β-acetylenic ketones

General procedure:To a stirred solution of the alkynylsilane (1 mmol), and iodine(5 mol%) in dichloromethane (10 mL), acyl chloride (1.2mmol) was added slowly in a dropwise manner at 0 °C andthe mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for the appropriatetime (Table [1] ).After complete conversion as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixturewas quenched with water (15 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane(2 × 15 mL). The combined extracts were washed with 15% solutionof sodium thiosulphate, dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄,and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting product was purified bycolumn chromatography on silica gel (Merck, 100-200 mesh,ethyl acetate-hexane, 1:9) to afford the pure 1-alkynylketone.
