Alkynyl Halo-Aza-Prins Annulative Couplings.

ABSTRACT: This article is a comprehensive report describing our studies in the field of aza-alkynyl Prins chemistry, comparing and contrasting the different reaction partners and reactivities observed during method development. The synthetic strategies combine an alkynyl aza-Prins coupling with an annulation, enabling the preparation of different nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Different iminium ions are explored as viable electrophiles for an alkynyl Prins cyclization, terminated by capture with a halogen nucleophile to form a vinyl halide. The synthetic utility of this functional handle is exploited through a number of Suzuki cross-couplings, allowing for the preparation of a modest library of compounds. In most cases, the Prins couplings are highly selective for the vinyl halides with E geometry, resulting from anti-addition across the alkyne.

Project description:Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions using alkynyl nucleophiles represent an attractive approach for the incorporation of alkynyl moieties into organic molecules. In the present study, a multitechnique approach combining inorganic spectroscopic methods, inorganic synthesis, and reaction studies is applied to iron-SciOPP catalyzed alkynyl-alkyl cross-couplings, providing the first detailed insight into the effects of variation from sp2- to sp-hybridized nucleophiles on iron speciation and reactivity. Reaction studies demonstrate that reaction of FeBr2(SciOPP) with 1 equiv (triisopropylsilyl)ethynylmagnesium bromide (TIPS-CC-MgBr) leads to a distribution of mono-, bis-, and tris-alkynylated iron(II)-SciOPP species due to rapid alkynyl ligand redistribution. While solvents such as THF promote these complex redistribution pathways, nonpolar solvents such as toluene enable increased stabilization of these iron species and further enabled assessment of their reactivity with electrophile. While the tris-alkynylated iron(II)-SciOPP species was found to be unreactive with the cycloheptyl bromide electrophile over the average turnover time of catalysis, the in situ formed neutral mono- and bis-alkynylated iron(II)-SciOPP complexes are consumed upon reaction with the electrophile with concomitant generation of cross-coupled product at catalytically relevant rates, indicating the ability of one or both of these species to react selectively with the electrophile. The nature of the reaction solvent and Grignard reagent addition rate were found to have broader implications in overall reaction selectivity, reaction rate, and accessibility of off-cycle iron(I)-SciOPP species. Additionally, the effects of steric substitution of the alkynyl Grignard reagent on catalytic performance were investigated. Fundamental insight into iron speciation and reactivity with alkynyl nucleophiles reported herein provides an essential foundation for the continued development of this important class of reactions.
