Abstract

The palladium/copper cocatalyzed sila-Sonogashira reaction of (hetero)arylethynysilanes with (hetero)aryl bromides in toluene and water at 40 ˚C under PTC conditions gave the required di(hetero)arylethynes in moderate to high yields. Activated, deactivated and ortho-substituted (hetero)aryl bromides are well tolerated. This protocol also allowed the preparation of symmetrical diarylethynes by double arylation of 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne.

Key words

Sonogashira reaction - palladium - alkynylsilanes - diarylethynes - copper - phase-transfer catalysis

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Di(hetero)arylethynes 3
To a mixture of alkynyltrimethylsilane 1 (1 mmol), (hetero)aryl bromide 2 (1.1 mmol), PdCl₂(PhCN)₂ (19.8 mg, 0.05 mmol), t-Bu₃PHBF₄ (29.0 mg, 0.1 mmol), CuI (19.0 mg, 0.1 mmol), and Bn(n-Bu)₃NCl (62.4 mg, 0.2 mmol) in toluene (8 mL) was added a 2.5 M aq solution of NaOH (10 mmol, 4 mL), and the resulting biphasic mixture was stirred under argon at 40 ˚C for the period of time reported in Table [²] . The degree of completion of the reaction and the composition of the reaction mixture were established by GC and GC-MS analyses of a sample of the crude reaction mixture after it had been treated with a sat. aq NH₄Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc. After being cooled to r.t., the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (15 mL) and poured into a sat. aq NH₄Cl solution (15 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred in the open air for 0.5 h and then extracted with EtOAc (4 × 10 mL). The organic extracts were washed with H₂O (2 × 5 mL), dried and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash cromatography on silica gel. This procedure was employed to prepare di(hetero)arylethynes 3a-e,g-m (Table [²] , entries 1-5 and 7-10,). The same procedure, but employing BTSE (0.23 mL, 0.17 g, 1.0 mmol) and aryl bromide 2 (2.2 mmol), was also applied to the synthesis of symmetrically substituted diarylethynes 4a-c (Scheme [³] ).
