Hydrochalcogenation of Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Buta-1,3-diynes with Diaryl Dichalcogenides: Facile Entry to (Z)-1-(Organylchalcogeno)but-1-en-3-yne Derivatives

Abstract

This work describes an efficient and stereoselective method for the hydrothiolation and -selenation of buta-1,3-diyne derivatives using diaryl disulfides or diselenides, respectively. In the presence of rongalite (HOCH₂SO₂Na) and potassium carbonate, buta-1,3-diynes undergo stereoselective addition of the thiolate or selenide anion generated in situ from diaryl disulfides or diselenides to afford the corresponding (Z)-1-sulfanyl- or (Z)-1-selanylalk-1-en-3-yne derivatives, respectively. The reaction of buta-1,3-diynes with diaryl disulfides or diselenides at higher temperature (70 °C) gave a mixture of monothiolation/selenation and bisthiolation/selenation products in moderate to good yields.

Key words

hydrochalcogenation - buta-1,3-diynes - aryl dichalcogenides - rongalite - reductive cleavage

• 15 The formation of traces of the bischalcogenation product was observed. Further increasing the temperature of the reaction (50–80 °C) furnished a minor amount of bischalcogenation product along with (Z)-1-(organylchalcogeno)enyne as the major product.

• 17 5% of the E-isomer was isolated along with Z-isomer of 5o.
• 18a Diselenide bonds are intrinsically more stable than disulfide bonds due to their lower redox potential and more difficult to cleave reductively. Hence the hydroselenation had to be carried out at a slightly higher temperature (50 °C) to facilitate the cleavage of diselenide followed by reaction with buta-1,3-diynes.
