Abstract

Nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative alkynylation of acyl fluorides with terminal silylethynes under copper-free conditions is described. This newly developed method has a wide substrate scope, affording internal silylethynes in moderate to high yields. The formation of 1,3-diynes as homocoupled products and conjugate enones as carbonyl-retentive products were effectively suppressed.

  • 28 Silylated Internal Alkynes 3: General Procedure An oven-dried 20 mL Schlenk tube containing a magnetic stirring bar was charged with Ni(cod)2 (5.5 mg, 0.02 mmol, 10 mol%), DPPP (12.4 mg, 0.03 mmol, 15 mol%), 1,4-dioxane (1 mL) under dry N2, and the mixture was stirred for 30 s at r.t. The appropriate acyl fluoride 1 (0.2 mmol), silyl alkyne 2 (0.4 mmol), and Bu3N (0.3 mmol) were added, and the mixture was heated at 140 °C in a heating block with stirring for 24 h, then cooled to r.t. The reaction was quenched with sat. aq NH4Cl, and the mixture was extracted with Et2O. The combined organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under vacuum, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc–hexane).
