Abstract

Organyl thiolate, selenolate or tellurolate anions reacted with allenyl phosphine oxides to give b-(organochalcogenyl)allyl phosphine oxides in good yields. The reaction was regioselective, giving exclusively one isomer in all cases studied. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of compound 3d with terminal alkynes to give β-alkynyl allyl phosphine oxide underwent efficiently in ­moderate yields.

Preparation of β-Organochalcogenyl Allyl Phosphine Oxides 3. General Procedure. Allenyl diphenyl phosphine oxides (0.5 mmol) in 2 mL THF was added dropwise to a solution of RYNa, prepared in situ by reduction of (RY)2 (0.25 mmol) with NaBH4 (0.6 mmol) in 2 mL EtOH at r.t. under nitrogen. After the reaction was complete (5 min), the reaction was diluted with sat. brine (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 ¥ 15 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhyd MgSO4. After filtration and removal of the solvent in vacuo, the residue was purified via chromatography on silica gel with n-hexane-EtOAc (1:1) as the eluent to give the product 3.

Preparation of β-Alkynyl Allyl Phosphine Oxides 4. General Procedure.
The mixture of 3d (1 mmol), terminal acetylene (2.0 mmol), PdCl2 (10 mol%), CuI (10 mol%) and Et3N (1.0 mmol) in 2 mL MeOH was stirred at r.t. for about 24 h under N2. After the reaction completed, the reaction was diluted with sat. brine (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 ¥ 15 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhyd MgSO4. After filtration and removal of the solvent in vacuo, the residue was purified via chromatography on silica gel with n-hexane-EtOAc (1:1) as the eluent to give the products 4.
