Abstract

(Trimethylsilyl)ethynyl bromide can be easily transformed into conjugated (E)-enynones, whose skeleton consists of consecutive carbonyl, ethynyl, and (E)-ethenyl units, via a one-pot multicomponent Suzuki-type reaction-Sonogashira reaction sequence. Thus, a three-component coupling of (trimethylsilyl)ethynyl bromide, (E)-alk-1-enyldisiamylborane and acid chloride is achieved in a two-step, one-pot procedure, in which (E)-alk-1-enyl group is installed as nucleophile in the sp-carbon atom attached to bromine atom and acyl group is installed as electrophile in the other sp-carbon atom.

Key words

(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl bromide - conjugated enynone - cross-coupling - alkenylborane - acid chloride

Compound 2a was formed in about 75% GC yield based on Me3SiC≡CBr employed, see ref. 21.

Considering that acid chloride would be consumed by reaction with residual both NaOMe and MeOH, an excess amount of benzoyl chloride was employed in this one-pot reaction. Indeed, using a stoichiometric amount of benzoyl chloride (0.5 mmol), a decrease in the yield of product 3aa was observed.

24

Among amine bases including i-Pr2NEt, Et3N was the base of choice for the cross-coupling reaction with benzoyl chloride.

To a solution of BH3 (1 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added 2-methylbut-2-ene (0.14 g, 2 mmol) dropwise at -15 ˚C under argon, and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0 ˚C to form a solution of disiamylborane in THF. To this solution was added oct-1-yne (0.11 g, 1 mmol) dropwise at -15 ˚C, and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0 ˚C. A solution of (E)-oct-1-enyldisiamylborane (1a, 1 mmol) in THF, thus prepared, was cooled to -15 ˚C, and Cu(acac)2 (0.013 g, 0.05 mmol) was added to the solution under a flow of argon, followed by dropwise addition of (trimethylsilyl)ethynyl bromide (0.119 g, 0.67 mmol) and NaOMe (1 M, 0.75 mL, 0.75 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to warm gradually to r.t. and stirred overnight. Methanol resulting from 1 M NaOMe was removed under reduced pressure, accompanied by the solvent. After addition of THF (3 mL) to the residue under argon, the resulting mixture including (E)-dec-3-en-1-yne (2a) was cooled to 0 ˚C, and Pd(OAc)2 (0.002 g, 0.01 mmol) and Ph3P (0.005 g, 0.02 mmol) were added successively under a flow of argon, followed by dropwise addition of benzoyl chloride (0.141 g, 1 mmol) and Et3N (0.101 g, 1 mmol). The resultant mixture was stirred for 2 h at r.t. and then oxidized by the successive addition of 3 M NaOH (1 mL) and 30% H2O2 (0.5 mL) at 0 ˚C. After being stirred for 1 h at this temperature, the mixture was extracted three times with Et2O. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel, with hexane-CH2Cl2 (1:1) as eluent, to give (E)-1-phenylundec-4-en-2-yn-1-one (3aa, 0.103 g, 86%).
