Abstract

The reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes with aryl iodides in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 and K2CO3 in refluxing methanol for 24 hours gave the dehydrogenation-addition products, methyl 2-(2,2-disubstituted-vinyl)benzoates in modest yields; together with the cyclization products, 3-methoxy-1-monosubstituted-methylene-3-hydroisobenzofurans in 3-18% yields.

Treatment of 2-iodobenzyl alcohol with phenylacetylene in the presence of catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4 and CuI, n-BuNH2 as a base in Et2O for 5 h gave compound 5a in 82% yield. The 2-alkynylbenzaldehyde 1a was obtained by oxidation of 5a with PCC in 91% yield.
