Giel, Marie-Claire, Barrow, Andrew S, Smedley, Christopher J, Lewis, William, Moses, John E (June 2021) Aminium cation-radical catalysed selective hydration of (E)-aryl enynes. Chemical Communications. ISSN 1359-7345
Abstract
The hydration of carbon-carbon triple bonds is an important and atom economic synthetic transformation. Herein, we report a mild and selective method for the catalytic Markovnikov hydration of (E)-aryl enynes to the corresponding enones, mediated through the bench-stable aminium salt, tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonate (TBPA). The chemoselective and diastereoselective method proceeds under neutral metal-free conditions, delivering excellent product yields from terminal and internal alkyne units. The synthesis of biologically important (E)-3-styrylisocoumarins, including a formal synthesis of the natural product achlisocoumarin III, demonstrates the utility of this novel transformation.
