Abstract

Abstract : A hybrid catalyst system for sequential Conia-ene-type cyclization/Negishi coupling for union of alkynyl ketones and aryl iodides has been developed. Abstract : We disclose a method for sequential Conia-ene-type cyclization/Negishi coupling for the union of alkynyl ketones and aryl iodides. This process is promoted through cooperative actions of Lewis acidic B(C6 F5 )3, ZnI2, Pd-based complex, and a Brønsted basic amine. The three Lewis acid catalysts with potential overlapping functions play their independent roles as activators of carbonyl group, alkyne moiety, and alkenyl zinc intermediate, respectively. A variety of 1, 2, 3-substituted cyclopentenes can be synthesized with high efficiency.
