NbCl5-Mg Reagent System in Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of (2Z)-Alkenylamines and (3Z)-Alkenylols from Substituted 2-Alkynylamines and 3-Alkynylols.

ABSTRACT: The reduction of N,N-disubstituted 2-alkynylamines and substituted 3-alkynylols using the NbCl5-Mg reagent system affords the corresponding dideuterated (2Z)-alkenylamine and (3Z)-alkenylol derivatives in high yields in a regio- and stereoselective manner through the deuterolysis (or hydrolysis). The reaction of substituted propargylamines and homopropargylic alcohols with the in situ generated low-valent niobium complex (based on the reaction of NbCl5 with magnesium metal) is an efficient tool for the synthesis of allylamines and homoallylic alcohols bearing a 1,2-disubstituted double bond. It was found that the well-known approach for the reduction of alkynes based on the use of the TaCl5-Mg reagent system does not work for 2-alkynylamines and 3-alkynylols. Thus, this article reveals a d
