Abstract

:
The preparation of phenylsulfonyl indene derivatives and phenylsulfonyl-acetylenes from readily available alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium tetrafluoroborates and triflates was investigated using phenylsulfinate as nucleophile.

Introduction

Among the various known hypervalent iodine species alkynyliodonium salts represent an interesting class of compounds regarding their applications in organic synthesis [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Their major subgroup comprises a multitude of stable alkynyl(aryl)iodonium salts (1, Scheme 1) [9]. Since the first preparation of a labile alkynyl(aryl)iodonium salt [10] and the isolation of the first stable one [11] their reactivity patterns have been thoroughly studied. It is nowadays well established that 1 are, among other things, excellent partners for Michael-type conjugate additions as well as dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions and dipolarophiles in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions [9]. The great tendency of 1 to react with nucleophiles via conjugate addition is a result of the highly electrophilic nature of the β-acetylenic carbon. The subsequent fate of the initially formed iodonium ylide 2 depends on the reaction conditions (Scheme 1). Thus, reaction with a proton donor will yield an alkenyliodonium ion 3, whereas carbene 4 is formed via iodobenzene elimination. This carbene then either inserts intramolecularly into any suitable bond available (mainly a C-H bond from either R or Nu) to produce five-membered ring systems 5 and 6 or rearranges to give a new alkyne 7. By employing C-, O-, N- and S-nucleophiles [6,7,8,9,12] several substituted cyclopentenes [13], cyclopentenones [14] or hetero-cyclic derivatives such as pyrroles [15], indoles [16], thiazoles [17] and benzofurans [12,18] have been obtained. Sulfinate anions in particular were used as nucleophiles in the construction of cyclopentenes [13,19,20] and cyclopentenones [14]. Herein we wish to report our latest results concerning the additions of benzenesulfinate to alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium salts in order to obtain indene and (or) alkyne derivatives.

Results and Discussion

The required alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium salts, 11 and 13, were prepared from the corresponding o-substituted phenyliodides 8a-c [21,22] (Scheme 2). These were first converted to arylalkynes 9 in very good yields through a Sonogashira reaction [23,24]. Some of the corresponding desilylated products 10 were also obtained in these reactions. Arylalkynes 9 were then treated first with iodosylbenzene in the presence of BF3·OEt2 [25] and subsequently with aqueous NaBF4 [26,27] to produce tetrafluoroborates 11. The Zefirov reagent 12 [28] was also used to prepare the triflate analogues 13 directly from the same intermediates 9 [29,30].

1-Bromonaphthalene (14) was similarly used to prepare the corresponding iodonium salts (Scheme 3). First the major Sonogashira reaction product 15 was obtained from 14, along with some of the desilylated product 16. Compound 15 then furnished 1-alkynyl(naphthyl)iodonium tetrafluoroborate and the triflate analogue 18 upon reaction with iodosylbenzene/NaBF4 or the Zefirov reagent, respectively. We did not try to isolate and characterize all these iodonium salts (assumed to be reasonably stable) since they could be successfully employed in their reactions with benzenesulfinate without any further purification.

Tetrafluoroborate 11a reacted first with PhSO2Na according to the general scheme shown in Table 1 (see also Figure 1). This reaction (entry 1) furnished in moderate yield the indene derivatives 19a and 20a as an inseparable mixture, along with the rearrangement product, phenylsulfonylacetylene 21a. The observations that 19a and 20a could not be separated (although they have slightly different Rf values) and that they were always obtained in the same ratio (ca. 5:1) from several runs points to the existence of an equilibrium between them. Thus, indene 20a, initially formed from 23a through carbene insertion to the C-H of methyl group, partially isomerized to the more stable 19a (Scheme 4). Indeed, addition of Et3N to a solution of 19a and 20a in CH2Cl2 did not alter this equilibrium and only slow decomposition was observed after prolonged stirring (two weeks) at room temperature [31].
Next we explored the reactivity of 11b which, in contrast with 11a, yielded a single phenylsulfonyl indene derivative, 19b, accompanied again by the acetylene sulfone 21b (entry 3). It is assumed that in this case the carbene insertion product 20b was irreversibly isomerized to 19b (Scheme 4). Generally, the sulfone group lacks the ability to participate in conjugation, therefore indenes 19, in which conjugation with the aromatic ring is possible, are favored. One would expect that, concerning 20b, the introduction of an extra methyl group, would lead to a less favorable 1,3-H shift system (in comparison with the 19a-20a pair). However, from the experimental results it becomes apparent that this is not the case. Due probably to steric factors, this shift is not reversible and once 20b is isomerized to 19b the indene system is locked. Another plausible explanation could be that alkene 19b is thermodynamically more stable since the conjugated double bond is trisubstituted.
The same reactions were also investigated employing the corresponding triflates 13a and 13b (entries 2 and 4, Table 1). Product distributions were similar to those obtained from tetrafluoroborates, but reaction mixtures were easier to resolve and the phenylsulfonylindenes were isolated in higher yields. Additionally, although not completely rationalized, annulation was slightly favored over rearrangement.

We sought next to explore the reactivity of methoxy iodonium salts 11c and 13c (entries 5 and 6), but these substrates yielded very complex reaction mixtures with PhSO2Na, which after chromatographic separations did not furnish any of the expected methoxy analogues 19c and 21c [32]. The situation was not improved when the reaction with the nucleophile was performed at lower temperatures. The different reactivity behavior of 11c and 13c might be due to an interaction of the ether oxygen with the initially formed carbene [33] and it is possible that in our case this kind of insertion does not lead to stable products.

Carbene insertion to an aromatic C-H bond is another feasible reaction pathway [34,35,36,37], but none of the reactions with 11 and 13 we investigated produced such derivatives. In order to check this reactivity pattern phenylsulfinate addition to the naphthyl iodonium salts 17 and 18 was examined, since these substrates lack the possibility of insertion to an sp3C-H, but these derivatives gave only the rearrangement product 22 in low yield upon nucleophile addition (entries 7 and 8).

Conclusions

In this article we have presented an investigation of the reactivity patterns of some new alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium tetrafluoroborates and triflates upon addition of phenylsulfinate. The preparation of indene and phenylsulfonyl acetylene derivatives was accomplished in moderate to good yields depending on the exact reaction conditions and substrates involved. Further exploration of this kind of iodonium salts could lead to a general scheme for the synthesis of such systems.

Experimental

General

All reagents are commercially available and were used without further purification unless otherwise mentioned. Solvents were dried by standard methods. The progress of the reactions was checked by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on Merck silica gel 60F254 glass plates (0.25 mm). Column chromatography was performed with Merck silica gel 60 (0.063–0.200 mm). The 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded at 300 and 75 MHz, respectively, on a Bruker 300 AM spectrometer, with tetramethylsilane (TMS) as internal standard. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained on a VG ZAB-ZSE mass spectrometer under fast-atom bombardment (FAB) conditions with nitrobenzyl alcohol (NBA) as the matrix or on an IONSPEC FTMS spectrometer (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization, MALDI) with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) as matrix.

General procedure for the preparation of 2-aryl-trimethylsilylacetylenes 9 and 15 [23,24]

Aryl halides 8 or 14 (20 mmol) were dissolved in Et2NH (80 mL) under an inert atomsphere. Trimethylsilylacetylene (TMSA, 2.36 g, 24 mmol), Pd(Ph3)2Cl2 (0.28 g, 0.4 mmol) and CuI (40 mg, 0.2 mmol) were then added successively and the mixture was left under vigorous stirring for 5 h at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and hexane (50 mL) was added to the residue. After stirring for 1 h the supernatant solution was collected and concentrated to a volume of ca. 10 mL. This was chromatographed on a silica gel column (hexane eluent) to afford 2-aryltrimethylsilylacetylenes 9 and 15 and the corresponding desilylated by-products 10 and 16 in this order.

PhIO (3.52 g, 16 mmol) [25] and BF3·OEt2 (2 mL, 16 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-aryl-trimethylsilylacetylenes 9 or 15 (10 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (40 mL) and the mixture was stirred under an inert atmosphere at room temperature for 4 h. Then a solution of NaBF4 (5.5 g, 50 mmol) in H2O (20 mL) was added and the resulting two phase system was vigorously stirred for 15 min at room temperature. The organic layer was collected, the aqueous one was extracted with CH2Cl2 (25 mL) and the combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4.
