Abstract

The cross-coupling reaction of (E)- and (Z)-1-alkenyldialkylboranes with (trimethylsilyl)ethynyl bromide proceeds in the presence of a base and a catalytic amount of Cu(acac)2 under very mild conditions to provide conjugated enynes whose carbon-carbon triple bond is in distal position. The use of 1 M NaOMe as a base exclusively affords both (E)- and (Z)-3-alken-1-ynes with high regio- and stereoselectivity, while the use of LiOH·H2O instead of 1 M NaOMe preferentially gives both (E)- and (Z)-1-trimethylsilyl-3-alken-1-ynes regio- and stereoselectively.

To a stirred solution of (E)-1-octenylbis(1,2-dimethyl-propyl)borane (4 mmol) in THF (12 mL) at -15 °C, Cu(acac)2 (0.052 g, 0.2 mmol) was added under an argon flow. (Trimethylsilyl)ethynyl bromide (0.474 g, 2.68 mmol) and 1 M NaOMe (4 mL, 4 mmol) were then added dropwise to the solution, and the resulting mixture was allowed to warm gradually to room temperature and to stir overnight. The reaction mixture was treated with 3 M NaOH (4 mL) and 30% H2O2 (2 mL) at 0 °C and stirred for 1 h at the same temperature to decompose the residual organoboron compound. The resultant mixture was extracted with ether, washed with brine, and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, with n-pentane as eluent, to give product 2a (0.255 g, 70% yield) as a colorless liquid. Compound 2a: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 0.88 (t, 3 H), 1.1-1.5 (m, 8 H), 2.0-2.2 (m, 2 H), 2.76 (dd, J = 2.2, 0.4 Hz, 1 H), 5.47 (ddt, J = 16.0, 2.2, 1.5 Hz, 1 H), 6.22 (dtd, J = 16.0, 6.8, 0.4 Hz, 1 H); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ: 14.04, 22.60, 28.58, 28.79, 31.68, 33.02, 75.49 (CH), 82.66 (C-), 108.52

To a stirred solution of (E)-1-octenyldicyclohexylborane (4 mmol) in THF (12 mL) at -15 °C, Cu(acac)2 (0.052 g, 0.2 mmol) was added under an argon flow. (Trimethyl-silyl)ethynyl bromide (0.474 g, 2.68 mmol) was added dropwise to the solution, and then LiOH·H2O (0.168 g, 4 mmol) was introduced into the solution under an argon flow. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm gradually to room temperature and to stir overnight. After the reaction mixture was neutralized with sat. NH4Cl, the resultant mixture was treated with NaBO3·4H2O (1.846 g, 12 mmol) and H2O (4 mL) at room temperature with vigorous stirring for 2 h to decompose the residual organoboron compound. Workup is the same as described in ref. 9. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, with n-pentane as eluent, to give product 3a (0.401 g, 72% yield) as a colorless liquid. Compound 3a: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 0.17 (s, 9 H), 0.88 (t, 3 H), 1.1-1.5 (m, 8 H), 2.0-2.2 (m, 2 H), 5.52 (dt, J = 15.8, 1.5 Hz, 1 H), 6.20 (dt, J = 15.8, 6.8 Hz, 1 H); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.00 (Me × 3), 14.00, 22.55, 28.58, 28.78, 31.63, 33.06, 92.43 (C-), 104.28 (C-), 109.61 (=CH-), 146.26 (=CH-); IR(neat) 2958, 2927, 2856, 2175, 2133, 1249, 1085, 952, 842, 759 cm-1; HRMS (EI) C13H24Si: requires 208.1647, found 208.1664.
