Full Cleavage of C≡C Bond in Electron-Deficient Alkynes via Reaction with Ethylenediamine

Abstract: Reaction of 1,2-diaminioethane (ethylenediamine) with electron-deficient alkynes leads to full scission of the C≡C bond even in the absence of a keto group directly attached to the alkyne. This process involves oxidation of one of the alkyne carbons into C2 of a 2-R-4,5-dihydroimidazole with the concomitant reduction of the other carbon to a methyl group. The sequence of Sonogashira coupling with the ethylenediamine-mediated fragmentation described in this work can be used for selective formal substitution of … Show more

“…However, conditions are harsher than in the case of α-acetylenic ketones. The fragmentation proceeds most effectively in refluxing pyridine with the 50-fold excess of the nucleophile (Scheme 39) [128].…”

“…2 Moreover, they are known as important intermediates in organic transformations. 3−5 There are numerous methods for the synthesis of 2-imidazolines, 2-oxazolines, and 2-thiazolines from different precursors such as carboxylic acids, 6,7 aldehydes, 8−11 amides, 12 thioamides, 13 esters, 14,15 aziridines, 16−19 anthraquinone, 20 carbene complex, 21 and nitriles 22−24 under various reaction conditions and a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. In spite of the potential utility of the above-mentioned procedures for the synthesis of these nitrogen-containing heterocycles, some of these methods suffer from one or more disadvantages, such as harsh reaction conditions (strong acidic conditions), use of stoichiometric amounts of catalysts, use of complex and expensive reagents and toxic solvents, long reaction times, and low yields of products.…”

“…This was followed by the formation of methyl aryl ketones and the corresponding 2substituted imidazoline derivatives. This case was of theoretical interest as an example of how the complete cleavage of a strong C≡C bond could be achieved under mild conditions through the action of ethylenediamine ( Figure 13) [15].…”
