Copper Salt Catalyzed Synthesis of Functionalized 2H‐Pyranes

Abstract: A copper‐catalyzed reaction between terminal alkynes, oxiranes, and malonitrile has been described. In this transformation, copper acetylide was attacked on oxiranes to form homopropargyl alkoxy‐copper intermediate that was further transferred to 2H‐pyrane skeletons by reaction with malonitrile. We found that the reaction was not productive without hexafluoroisopropanol.

“…A copper-catalyzed three-component reaction between terminal alkynes, malonitrile, and oxiranes in HFIP affords functionalized 2 H -pyranes (Scheme ). The enhanced catalytic activity of copper­(I) oxide (Cu 2 O) in this reaction was likely due to its improved solubility in HFIP; MeCN, DMF, and polyethylene glycols (PEG-200 and PEG-400) provided inferior yields. The authors applied a similar method for the synthesis of functionalized 2 H -pyran-5-carboxylate derivatives from malonates instead of malonitrile using (IPr)­CuCl catalyst .…”

“…Only a trace amount of the product 4a was obtained under the neat condition (entry 24). Interestingly and in contrast of the previous reports, the reaction exhibited excellent chemoselectivity and no products arising from the direct attack of copper acetylide on 3a are detected in crude reaction mixture analysis . Based on the spectroscopic analyses, all of the reactions proceeded through a 6‐exo cyclization path.…”

“…A pair of collaborative studies from the laboratories of Sedaghat and Khalaj have described three-component coupling / cyclization methods, combining terminal alkynes, epoxides, and the active methylene compounds malononitrile (89) or dimethyl malonate (90) (Table 10). 62,63 Several Cu(I) catalysts gave good to excellent yields of highly functionalized pyrans 91 or 92, corresponding to the active methylene reactant. In all cases, the best yields arose with HFIP as solvent, although satisfactory results were also reported with polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400, entries 5, 13).…”
