Abstract

An expeditious synthesis of α-aryl- and α-alkynylcyclohexenones is described and illustrated by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of cyclic α-iodoenones with potassium aryltrifluoroborate salts. This procedure offers easy access to α-arylated and alkynylated cyclohexenones functionalized with electron-­donor and -acceptor substituents in good yields.

Key words

cross-coupling reaction - cyclic α-iodoenones - α-substituted enones

General Procedure for the Cross-Coupling Reaction of Aryltrifluoroborate Salts with 2-Iodocyclohex-2-enone (Table 3, Entry 1)
To a round-bottomed flask containing phenyltrifluoroborate salt (0.5 mmol), 2-iodocyclohex-2-enone (0.5 mmol), K2CO3 (1.5 mmol), and PdCl2 (5 mol%) was added a mixture of 1,4-dioxane (4 mL) and degassed H2O (1.0 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 80 ˚C for 5 h. After this time, the mixture was cooled to r.t., diluted with EtOAc (10 mL), and washed with sat. aq NH4Cl (3 × 10 mL). The organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using hexane-EtOAc (8:2) as the eluent.
