Chloride-Tolerant Gold(I)-Catalyzed Regioselective Hydrochlorination of Alkynes

Abstract: We have developed a highly regioselective homogeneous gold(I)-catalyzed anti-hydrochlorination of unactivated alkynes at room temperature. We have overcome the incompatibility between conventional cationic gold catalysts and chloride by using a hydrogen-bonding activation of the Au–Cl bond. This approach is scalable, exhibits excellent functional group tolerance, and can be conducted in open air.

“…This impairs the reactivity in this context of strong acids with strongly coordinating conjugated bases, such as hydrochloric acid. Indeed, hydrofunctionalization using this acid as nucleophile has been achieved only recently, employing gold(I) complexes with Buchwald biphenylphosphines as ligands and using HCl/DMPU as the HCl source [123]; use of this peculiar HCl source enhances its nucleophilicity upon the establishment of a strong hydrogen bond to DMPU without the formation of high concentrations of free chloride. The process requires 2 mol% Au and delivers mainly the trans hydrochlorinated product with high Markovnikov regioselectivity in the case of terminal alkynes.…”

“…So berichteten DØrien und Mitarbeiter von einer Ruthenium-katalysierten Hydrochlorierung von Alkinen mit HCl (Schema 1a), [9] und Hammond, Xu und Mitarbeiter verwendeten kürzlich HCl (als DMPU/HCl-Addukt) in einer Gold-katalysierten Reaktion (Schema 1b). [10] Die Verwendung von HCl als Reagens schränkt jedoch die Verträglichkeit dieser Methoden gegenüber funktionellen Gruppen ein. Eine Palladium-katalysierte gerichtete anti-Hydrochlorie-rung nichtaktivierter Alkine wurde kürzlich von Engle und Mitarbeitern realisiert (Schema 1c).…”

“…Fore xample,D Ørien and co-workers have reported aruthenium-catalyzed hydrochlorination of alkynes with HCl (Scheme 1a), [9] and Hammond, Xu, and co-workers have recently employed HCl (as aD MPU/HCl adduct) in ag old-catalyzed reaction (Scheme 1b). [10] However, the use of HCl as ar eagent inherently limits the functional-group tolerance of these methods.Apalladium-catalyzed directed anti-hydrochlorination of unactivated alkynes has recently been realized by Engle and co-workers (Scheme 1c). [11] Through the introduction of abidentate directing group,they could efficiently control the regioselectivity of the transformation.…”
