Abstract

An operationally simple, efficient, and metal-/peroxide-free three-component reaction of alkynes, iodine, and sodium sulfinates has been developed for the construction of highly functionalized tetrasubstituted alkenes. Iodo- and sulfonyl-containing tetrasubstituted alkenes, such as vinyl ketones, allylic alcohols, and conjugated enynes, could be obtained regio- and stereoselectively in up to 96% yield.

Introduction

Polysubstituted alkenes are widely present in many natural products, biologically active molecules, and pharmaceuticals such as tamoxifen, doxepin, and combretatstatins A,¹ as well as among the most useful structural units in organic transformations, such as the generation of quarternary centers by conjugate addition, osmylations, and epoxidations.² Thus, it was of particular interest to find an effective and convenient protocol to synthesize functionalized polysubstituted alkenes. Despite the fact that numerous methods have been developed for the synthesis of alkenes, access to tetrasubstituted alkenes remains a challenging task for the synthetic community due to the congested nature of the double bond.^2d,3 Additionally, new and general strategies that could provide tetrasubstituted alkenes with diverse functional groups for further transformations are in much demand.

Owing to the distinctive structure and electronic features of the sulfonyl group, vinylsulfones have broad utilizations as valuable building blocks in medicinal chemistry, materials chemistry, and organic synthesis.⁴ Among them, halo vinylsulfones are of significant interest because both the vinylsulfone and vinyl halide are versatile functional units in organic synthesis. Therefore, the simultaneous introduction of sulfonyl and halo into alkenes has drawn great attention from chemists. Transition-metal-catalyzed reaction of terminal alkynes with sulfonyl chlorides or sulfonylhydrazides has emerged as a powerful means to construct halo vinylsulfones,⁵ yet the use of toxic metals makes it limited for wide application. Alternatively, metal-free synthesis of halo vinylsulfones has been developed during recent years. For example, β-iodo vinylsulfones could be synthesized by metal-free iodosulfonylation of alkynes with sulfonyl hydrazides.⁶ Wang et al.⁷ reported the synthesis of β-iodovinyl sulfones by difunctionalization of alkynes with sulfinic acids and iodine without any metal catalyst. Jiang⁸ and Sun⁹ disclosed iodosulfonylation of alkynes with sodium sulfinates and iodine under metal-free conditions, respectively. Despite the synthetic efficiency of these reactions, almost all of these protocols are limited to the synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes from terminal alkynes. Very recently, Reddy and Wang, respectively, reported the stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes by iodosulfonylation of electron-deficient internal alkynes, where TBHP (3 equiv) is used as oxidant or sulfonylhydrazide is used as the sulfur source.¹⁰ Given the importance of tetrasubstituted alkenes and our ongoing interest in the construction of sulfonyl compounds,¹¹ we present herein a convenient and efficient synthesis of iodo- and sulfonyl-contained tetrasubstituted alkenes, e.g., vinyl ketones, allylic alcohols, and conjugated enynes, by three-component reaction of internal alkynes, iodine, and sodium sulfinates under metal- and peroxide-free conditions.

Results and Discussion

Initially, the reaction of 3-phenyl-1-(p-tolyl)prop-2-yn-1-one and sodium benzenesulfinate was chosen as the model reaction to optimize the reaction conditions. The experimental results were compiled in Table 1. With the treatment of 1.0 equiv of acetylenic ketone (1a), 1.0 equiv of sodium benzenesulfinate (2a), and 1.0 equiv of I₂ in ethyl acetate at room temperature for 24 h, (E)-3-iodo-3-phenyl-2-(phenylsulfonyl)-1-(p-tolyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3a) could be isolated in 12% yield along with recovery of 1a (entry 1, Table 1). Considering the solubility of sodium sulfinate, ethyl acetate/water (v:v = 2:1) was used as the solvent, and 3a was isolated in 28% yield (entry 2, Table 1). Only a trace of 3a was detected in water (entry 3, Table 1). The yield of 3a was increased to 65% when excess sodium benzenesulfinate was used (entries 4 and 5, Table 1). Screening various solvents suggested ethyl acetate/water (v:v = 2:1) as the best candidate for this reaction (entries 5–10, Table 1). The yield of 3a was further improved to 83% by increasing the reaction temperature to reflux, while only a trace of 3a was detected by performing the reaction at 0 °C (entries 11–13, Table 1). An increase in the amount of I₂ has no apparent effect on the yield of 3a, and a reduced amount of I₂ was detrimental to the yield (entries 14 and 15, Table 1). Based on these experimental results, we defined that acetylenic ketones react with 2.0 equiv of sodium sulfinates and 1.0 equiv of I₂ in ethyl acetate/water (v:v = 2:1) at reflux as the optimal reaction conditions for the scope of study.

With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, a range of acetylenic ketones and sodium sulfinates were employed in the reaction to evaluate the scope and generality of this protocol, and results are summarized in Table 2. The reaction worked well with various substituted acetylenic ketones, and the corresponding β-iodo-α-sulfonyl vinyl ketones 3 were obtained in the range of 76%–91% yields. R¹ in acetylenic ketones can be phenyl (3a–3j, Table 2), p-tolyl (3k–3o, Table 2), p-methoxyphenyl (3p–3w, Table 2), p-fluorophenyl (3x and 3y, Table 2), and p-chlorophenyl (3z, Table 2), respectively. The compatibility of R² in acetylenic ketones was also investigated, by revealing that phenyl, electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl, and n-propyl could be well tolerated in the reaction. Several commercially available sodium sulfinates 2 such as sodium phenylsulfinate, sodium p-tolylsulfinate, and sodium methanesulfinate could conduct this reaction successfully to give the corresponding products. The substituents in acetylenic ketones or sodium sulfinates had no apparent effect on the reaction. Unfortunately, no desired product was obtained when R¹ in acetylenic ketones is alkyl.

Allylic alcohols are pervasive in natural products and serve as ubiquitous intermediates in organic synthesis.¹² The construction of allylic alcohols has been a focus in methodology development for decades.¹³ Encouraged by the experimental results of acetylenic ketones, we investigated the similar transformation of propargyl alcohols. The results show that iodosulfonylation reaction can be readily extended to propargyl alcohols. The desired functionalized tetrasubstituted allylic alcohols 5 were isolated in up to 96% yield when propargyl alcohols reacted with 2.0 equiv of sodium sulfinates and 1.5 equiv of iodine in DCE/H₂O (v:v = 2:1) at reflux (Table 3). R¹ in propargyl alcohols can be p-tolyl (5a–5h, Table 3), phenyl (5i–5o, Table 3), p-methoxyphenyl (5p–5x, Table 3), and p-fluorophenyl (5y and 5z, Table 3), respectively. R² in propargyl alcohols can be phenyl, n-propyl, and electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl. Similarly, no desired product was obtained when R¹ in propargyl alcohols is alkyl.

On the other hand, conjugated enynes are of great interest in organic synthesis, materials science, and biochemistry due to their ubiquitous occurrence in bioactive natural products and functional materials.¹⁴ Transition-metal-catalyzed cross coupling of vinyl halides or acetylenic halides¹⁵ and dimerization of alkynes¹⁶ are the most commonly used synthetic methods for access to conjugated enynes. However, direct stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted conjugated enynes from 1,3-diynes is scarce.¹⁷ To further demonstrate the synthetic utility of this protocol, we extended the iodosulfonylation reaction to 1,3-diynes. It was found that the reaction proceeded smoothly, and the polysubstituted conjugated enynes 7 were isolated in 48–74% yields when 1,3-diynes 6 reacted with 2 equiv of sodium sulfinates and 1.5 equiv of iodine in DCE/H₂O (v:v = 2:1) at reflux (Table 4). The R¹ in 1,3-diynes can be phenyl (7a–7c, Table 4), p-methylphenyl (7d–7f, Table 4), p-fluorophenyl (7g–7i, Table 4), p-methoxyphenyl (7j, Table 4), and p-chlorophenyl (7k, Table 4). R² in sodium sulfinates can be phenyl, methyl, and p-tolyl. Unfortunately, complex mixtures were observed in the case of unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes.

The configurations of compounds 3, 5, and 7 were unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of 3a, 5c, and 7i (see Supporting Information), indicating that the iodosulfonylation of carbon–carbon triple bond proceeds in anti-fashion.

To examine the synthetic application of the obtained functionalized tetrasubstituted alkenes, the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of the obtained iodo- and sulfonyl-substituted alkenes was investigated. The Suzuki coupling reactions of p-tolylboronic acid with compounds 3a, 5e, and 7b proceeded smoothly, and the desired products 8, 9, and 10 were isolated in excellent yields (Scheme 1).

To investigate the reaction mechanism, some control experiments were conducted (Scheme 2). When the radical scavenger TEMPO (2 equiv) was added to the standard reaction conditions, inhibition of the reaction was observed. The desired product 3a was isolated in 56% yield when acetylenic ketone 1a directly reacts with benzenesulfonyl iodode under the optimized reaction conditions. The reaction proceeded much faster to provide 89% yield of 3a after 0.5 h when the reaction of acetylenic ketone 1a with benzenesulfonyl iodode was conducted in the presence of 5 mol % of AIBN. On the basis of the experimental results and related literature,^7,8 a mechanism for the iodosulfonylation of alkynes is proposed as shown in Scheme 3. First, the sodium sulfinate reacts with iodine to give sulfonyl iodide intermediate, which may undergo homolytic cleavage to yield a sulfonyl radical A. Addition of A to acetylenic ketone 1a chemoselectively generates the more stable vinyl radical intermediate B. Subsequently, vinyl radical B reacts with sulfonyl iodide, I₂, or iodine radical to afford the functionalized alkenes 3. The regioselectivity of the reaction may be determined by the stability of the vinyl radical intermediate B. In the case of acetylenic ketones (or propargyl alcohols), the β-carbonyl (or γ-hydroxyl) vinyl radical intermediate is more stable than the α-carbonyl (or β-hydroxyl) vinyl radical intermediate because of the electron-withdrawing effect of carbonyl (or hydroxyl), giving α-sulfonyl vinyl ketones (or β-sulfonyl allylic alcohols). In the case of 1,3-diynes, the α-alkynyl vinyl radical intermediate is more stable than the β-alkynyl vinyl radical intermediate due to the conjugation effects of the carbon–carbon triple bond, affording 2-iodo-1-sulfonyl 1,3-enynes.

Conclusion

In summary, we have developed a convenient and general method for the construction of highly functionalized tetrasubstituted alkenes, e.g., iodo- and sulfonyl-substituted vinyl ketones, allylic alcohols, and conjugated enynes, from three-component reaction of acetylenic ketones, propargyl alcohols, or 1,3-diynes with iodine and sodium sulfinates. The method is characterized by its wide substrate scope, high regio- and stereoselectivity, mild reaction conditions, and readily available starting materials. It is predictable that the resulting highly functionalized alkenes are potential precursors for differently tetrasubstituted alkenes.

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Propargyl Alcohols 4 and Acetylenic Ketones 1.¹⁸

Alkyne (6.00 mmol, 1.20 equiv) and anhydrous THF (15 mL) were added to a 50 mL two-neck round-bottom flask. The mixture was cooled to 0 °C, and n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 2.50 mL, 6.25 mmol, 1.25 equiv) was added slowly via syringe. The mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h and then at room temperature for 1 h and then recooled to 0 °C. Aldehyde (5.00 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added dropwise via syringe. The reaction was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h and then at room temperature for an additional 30 min. Upon the completion of the reaction, the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH₄Cl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (50 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. After filtration and removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 10/1) to afford the desired propargyl alcohol 4.

MnO₂ (15 equiv) was added to a solution of propargyl alcohol 4 (5 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (15 mL) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred overnight. Then the solid was filtered, and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 50/1) to give acetylenic ketone 1.

In the open air, alkyne (3.0 mmol) and Cu(OAc)₂·H₂O (0.3 mmol) were added to a 100 mL tube successively. Then the tube was sealed, and the resulting mixture was allowed to react at 110 °C for 7 h. After completion of the reaction, 30 mL of ethyl acetate was added. The mixture was filtered, and the filtration residue was washed with ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether as eluent) to afford the 1,3-diyne 6.

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of PhSO₂I.^4a

A saturated solution of iodine (2.0 g, 8.0 mmol) in alcohol (7 mL) was added gradually to the solution of sodium benzenesulfinate (1.6 g, 10 mmol) in 35 mL of distilled water until a slight excess of iodine was present. During this period, the yellow precipitate was formed gradually. The precipitate was filtered, washed with cold water, and dried carefully at room temperature to give benzenesulfonyl iodide as a yellow solid.

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Functionalized Tetrasubstituted Vinyl Ketones 3

Under argon atmosphere, a Schlenk flask equipped with a condenser was charged with 0.25 mmol (55 mg) of 3-phenyl-1-(p-tolyl)prop-2-yn-1-one (1a), 0.5 mmol (82 mg) of sodium benzenesulfinate (2a), 0.25 mmol (64 mg) of I₂, and 3 mL of ethyl acetate/H₂O (v/v 2/1). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux until the complete consumption of 1a (monitored by TLC). The reaction was then quenched with saturated NH₄Cl and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 15 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated Na₂S₂O₃ and dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. After filtration and removal of the solvent in vacuo, the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 15/1) to give product 3a.

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Functionalized Tetrasubstituted Allylic Alcohols 5

Under argon atmosphere, a Schlenk flask equipped with a condenser was charged with 0.25 mmol (75 mg) of 1-(2-bromophenyl)-3-(4-tolyl)prop-2-yn-1-ol (4a), 0.5 mmol (82 mg) of sodium benzenesulfinate (2a), 0.375 mmol (95 mg) of I₂, and 3 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane/H₂O (v/v 2/1). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux until the complete consumption of 4a (monitored by TLC). The reaction was then quenched with saturated NH₄Cl and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 15 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated Na₂S₂O₃ and dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. After filtration and removal of the solvent in vacuo, the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 15/1) to give product 5a.

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Funtionalized Conjugated Enynes 7

Under argon atmosphere, a Schlenk flask equipped with a condenser was charged with 0.25 mmol (51 mg) of 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diyne (6a), 0.5 mmol (82 mg) of sodium benzenesulfinate (2a), 0.375 mmol (95 mg) of I₂, and 3 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane/H₂O (v/v 2/1). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux until the complete consumption of 6a (monitored by TLC). The reaction was then quenched with saturated NH₄Cl and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 15 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated Na₂S₂O₃ and dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. After filtration and removal of the solvent in vacuo, the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (silica gel, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 20/1) to give product 7a.
