ABSTRACT: Herein we describe an efficient protocol for the regioselective addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to internal alkynes catalyzed by rhodium/Lewis acid catalysts. The corresponding branched/linear allylic alkylation products could be selectively obtained in good yields. Rh−H species were considered to be generated by direct C−H oxidative addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with rhodium catalyst with the assistance of Lewis acid. Moreover, a retro-allylic alkylation process was observed in this transformation.

INTRODUCTION Transition-metal-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions have flourished in the past few decades, which provide an efficient and powerful tool for constructing allylic C−C bonds.1−6 With the growing attention toward environmental issues, atomeconomical approaches have been welcomed by the synthetic community. Transition-metal-catalyzed addition of pronucleophiles to allenes or alkynes to form allylic C−X bonds (X = N, O, S) represents one of the most atom-economical approaches for the synthesis of allylic-substituted compounds. Following the pioneering work by Trost2a,f,7 and Yamamoto8 with palladium catalysts, the seminal work on regioselective hydrocarboxylation of allene catalyzed by iridium was realized by Krische in 2008.9 Recently, Breit and co-workers10−12 developed a series of rhodium-catalyzed pronucleophile addition reactions to allenes and terminal alkynes toward branched allylic products. In comparison to the formation of allylic C−X bonds, the formation of allylic C−C bonds has been less explored.13,14 For instance, the Breit and Dong groups have independently reported Rh-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of β-keto acids and allenes13a or alkynes13d,e to access branched γ,δunsaturated ketones (Scheme 1a). In these transformations, a substoichiometric amount of carboxylic acid was required as a cocatalyst15 for the generation of Rh−H species via oxidative addition of O−H in β-keto acids with an Rh complex. Previous reported works indicated that the presence of a more acidic O− H functional group in the pronucleophile or cocatalyst is necessary for formation of Rh−H species, which might narrow the substrate scope. Therefore, realizing direct C−H oxidative addition of carbon pronucleophiles with an Rh complex to generate a Rh−H species is an important task, which might enable more possible carbon pronucleophiles in such transformations. © XXXX American Chemical Society

Scheme 1. Rhodium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation Reactions

We speculated that a Lewis acid might increase the acidity of C−H bond of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to assist the oxidative addition with a Rh complex for the generation of the key Rh− H intermediate. Herein, we report our recent findings with a combination of rhodium and Lewis acid as catalyst to promote the regioselective addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to internal alkynes, which allowed access to either the branched or linear allylic-substituted products (Scheme 1b).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION At the outset, acetylacetone (1a) and 1-phenyl-1-propyne (2a) were chosen as the model substrates to verify our hypothesis. In the presence of 5 mol % of [Rh(COD)OH]2, 12 mol % of dppf, and 6 mol % of Yb(OTf)3 in DCE at 70 °C, the reaction of 1a and 2 equiv of 2a proceeded smoothly to afford the branched Received: April 13, 2017

allene, were also examined. In general, branched products with a terminal alkene were obtained for all of the alkynes tested. Substrates with phenethyl and a long alkyl chain led to moderate yields (3e,f). Benzylated and benzoylated alcohols were tolerated very well to afford 3g,h in 95% and 90% yields, respectively. A silylated alcohol gave a slightly low yield (76%, 3i), probably due to the instability of TBS under acidic conditions. A substrate with leaving group (OTs) had no significant effect on the outcome of the desired product 3j (80%). Even a free alcohol (2k) could be employed in this transformation, although a moderate yield was obtained. Alkynes with other sensitive functionalities such as chloride, keto, protected amine, and amide also worked well to afford the branched products in moderate to good yields (3l−o, 47− 97%). However, an aldehyde functionality could not be tolerated in such a transformation (3p, 0%). This approach also could be suitable for a complex substrate with a chiral skeleton, resulting in the corresponding branched alkylated product 3q in 87% yield.16 Notably, 1-phenyl-1-butyne (2r) exhibited good reactivity but poor regioselectivity, resulting in alkylated products 3r,r′ in 88% overall yield with almost 1/1 β/ δ selectivity. Next, various 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds were employed to investigate the generality of the current methodology. By employment of the optimal reaction conditions (entry 7, Table 1, conditions A), the reaction of ethyl-substituted 1,3-diketone 1b with 1-phenyl-1-propyne (2a) gave the alkylated products in 99% yield with 91/9 regioselectivity in favor of branched product 5a. Increasing the size of the 1,3-diketone only slightly affected the reactivity of the reaction (5b/6b 91/9, 70% overall yield). However, the reaction of 1b with aliphatic alkyne 2g afforded only the branched product 5c in 77% yield without detection of a linear product. In addition to the 1,3-diketones, β-keto esters were also suitable substrates to furnish the branched products 5d,e in 93% and 98% yields, respectively, albeit with almost 1/1 diastereoselectivity. Interestingly, when the phenyl-substituted 1,3-diketone 1f was examined under the

detected in the absence of Lewis acid or RhI precursors (entries 2 and 3, Table 1). Encouraged by these results, further optimization of the reaction conditions was carried out. We tested other RhI precursors such as [Rh(COD)Cl]2, [Rh(NBD)Cl]2, and Rh(COD)2BF4 together with dppf and found that the catalyst derived from [Rh(COD)Cl]2 is the most efficient, affording 3a in 96% GC yield (entry 4, Table 1). Similarly, the screening of ligands revealed DPEphos to be the superior ligand for this transformation, resulting in the desired branched product 3a in an almost quantitative GC yield (entry 7, Table 1). Then, various Lewis acids such as AlCl3, Gd(OTf)3, Bi(OTf)3, Sc(OTf)3, and La(OTf)3 were examined (entries 10−14, Table 1). The reaction gave the desired product 3a in 87% yield (entry 11, Table 1), while other Lewis acids resulted in poor yield and no desired product formation was observed with AlCl3 (entry 10, Table 1). The reaction became sluggish on lowering of the reaction temperature to 40 °C, resulting in a 20% GC yield of 3a. Interestingly, by a change in the 1a/2a ratio of 1/1, both branched and linear product formations were observed with 90/10 3a/4a in 88% overall yield (entry 16, Table 1). When 2 equiv of acetylacetone (1a) was employed, the formation of 4a increased (entry 17, Table 1). With the optimal reaction conditions in hand (entry 7, Table 1), we explored the scope of the coupling reaction with a large number of alkynes 2 (Scheme 2). Alkynes with electron-rich pmethyl and electron-deficient p-ester or -keto phenyl rings worked smoothly to afford the allylic alkylated products 3b−d in 95−99% yields.

Organometallics optimized reaction conditions (conditions A), a mixture of the branched and linear products (1/16 5f/6f) was obtained in 93% overall yield. In order to achieve high regioselectivity of these types of substrates, further optimization reactions were conducted. We found that in the presence of 5 mol % of [Rh(COD)Cl]2, 12 mol % of BINAP, and 6 mol % of Sc(OTf)3 in DCE at 70 °C for 48 h (conditions B, Scheme 3), the

indicated toward a rapid retro-allylic alkylation under reaction conditions B. The formation of crossover product 3a revealed the involvement of an intermolecular allylic substitution.17 However, intramolecular allylic substitution might be faster, as evidenced by the higher yield of 6f (82% yield), in comparison to that of 3a (18% yield). To figure out the effect of the rhodium complex and Lewis acid in the process of retro-allylic alkylation, several experiments were conducted in the absence of rhodium complex or Lewis acid. These experiments revealed that either of them has an effect on the retro-allylic alkylation; however, the combination of a rhodium complex and Lewis acid can trigger a faster retro-allylic alkylation (see Figures S14S17 in the Supporting Information for more details). To get an intuitive understanding of the different regioselectivities between acetylacetone derivatives and dibenzoylmethane derivatives, the experiments were carried out and monitored by 1H NMR (see Figure S4, S6, S8, and S10 in the Supporting Information for more details). With an increase in the amount of acetylacetone 1a, the yield of linear product 4a was increased (Figures S4, S6 and S8). We speculated that the rhodium complex prefers to coordinate with alkyne 2a, thus hindering the subsequent retro-allylic alkylation. The reaction profile for the progress of the reaction of dibenzoylmethane derivative 1k with 2a showed that there was an initial buildup of the branched product (5k) to reach a peak at around 2 h followed by its decrease as the thermodynamically stable linear product (6k) began to form and exist as a major isomer in the reaction mixture (Figure S10). This observation confirmed that 6k was produced from 5k through a retro-allylic alkylation process. Due to the conjugation effect, dibenzoylmethane derivatives might trigger a faster retro-allylic alkylation in comparison to acetylacetone derivatives. On the basis of these observations, a catalytic cycle was proposed as depicted in Scheme 6. Lewis acid activated substrate 1 would undergo oxidative addition of C−H to the Rh(I) center, resulting in intermediate A (step I). Then, Markovnikov-selective hydrometalation delivers the σ-vinylrhodium intermediate B (step II), which may undergo βhydride elimination to generate an allene and intermediate A′ (step III). A subsequent Markovnikov-selective hydrometalation of this allene would afford the σ-allylrhodium intermediate

reaction of 1 equiv of 1f with 1 equiv of 1a could afford the linear product 6f in 90% yield, exclusively. Under reaction conditions B, various substrates containing either electronwithdrawing (F, Cl, Br) or electron-donating (Me, OMe) groups on the phenyl rings afforded the linear products 6g−k in 63−90% yields. Likewise, 2-naphthyl-substituted 1,3diketone 1l was also amenable to alkylation with 2a to afford 6l in 80% yield. To evaluate the practicality of this catalytic process, a gramscale reaction was carried out. As shown in Scheme 4, the branched allylic alkylation product 3a could be obtained in 92% yield under reaction conditions A. Scheme 4. Gram-Scale Reaction

To gain mechanistic insights into the reaction, the following control experiments were performed (Scheme 5). First, the reaction of 1a with 1-phenylallene 7 under the optimal reaction conditions was performed, affording the corresponding product 3a in 91% yield (eq a, Scheme 5). This experiment demonstrated the formation of an allene intermediate from the alkyne during the course of the reaction. A labeling experiment was also performed with the deuterated 1-phenyl-1propyne 2a-d3 and 1a under the optimal reaction conditions. The deuterium incorporation was observed at the α, β, and γ positions of the carbonyl group (eq b, Scheme 5). Next, the reaction of 1a with mixture of branched/linear products (5f/6f 73/27) was conducted under conditions B (eq c, Scheme 5). After 48 h, the reaction afforded 6f in 82% yield and 3a in 18% yield with full conversion of 5f. This crossover experiment C

CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we have developed an efficient approach toward the regioselective addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to internal alkynes to produce allylic alkylated products. The branched and linear allylic products were selectively obtained in good to excellent yields by employing 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with different substituents. The branched allylic alkylated products were obtained from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with aliphatic substituents, whereas linear allylic alkylated products were achieved from those aromatic substituents. Furthermore, a retro-allylic alkylation process was observed in this protocol. The use of a catalytic amount of Lewis acid in combination with the rhodium(I) complex was crucial for success in achieving this transformation. Assisted by a Lewis acid, direct C−H oxidative addition toward the rhodium(I) complex might be involved in this transformation. By alteriation of the reaction conditions, branched and linear allylic products were selectively obtained. Further exploration of the rhodium(I)/Lewis acid catalytic system is currently underway in our laboratory.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

All nonaqueous reactions were performed in oven-dried glassware and standard Schlenk tubes under an atmosphere of nitrogen. 1,2Dichloroethane (DCE), 1,2-dichlorobenzene (ODCB), and acetonitrile (CH3CN) were distilled from CaH2 under an inert atmosphere. Tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, and toluene (PhMe) were distilled from sodium and benzophenone under an inert atmosphere. All other solvents and reagents were used as received unless otherwise noted. Thin-layer chromatography was performed using silica gel 60 F-254 precoated plates (0.2−0.3 mm) and visualized by short-wave UV (254 nm) irradiation, potassium permanganate, CAM, or iodine stain. The 1 H and 13C NMR spectra were obtained in CDCl3 using a Bruker Avance III spectrometer at 400 and 100 MHz for 1H and 13C NMR, respectively. Chemical shifts (δ) for 1H NMR spectra are recorded in parts per million from tetramethylsilane with the solvent resonance as the internal standard (chloroform, δ 7.26 ppm). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, qn = quintet, m = multiplet, and br = broad), coupling constant in Hz, and integration. Chemical shifts for 13C NMR spectra are recorded in parts per million from tetramethylsilane using the central peak of deuteriochloroform (δ 77.00 ppm) as the internal standard. The infrared spectra were recorded on a VERTEX 70 IR spectrometer as KBr pellets, with absorption reported in cm−1. HRMS D
