Herein, we report an efficient method for the synthesis of (Z)-β-halovinyl ketones through a one-pot Sonogashira coupling and hydrohalogenation reaction promoted by palladium-copper catalyst and Brønsted acid. The ynone intermediates are generated in situ from readily available acid chlorides and terminal alkynes at room temperature, which are directly converted to (Z)-β-halovinyl ketones by treating with triflic acid. This method avoids the use of an external halogen source and features broad substrate scope, high yield, and good to excellent stereoselectivity.
Introduction
The palladium and copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of terminal alkynes with aryl or vinyl halides, also known as Sonogashira reaction, has emerged as a powerful method for the synthesis of substituted alkynes in recent decades (Sonogashira et al., 1975; Sonogashira, 2002). The scope of this reaction has been extended to acid halides, which reacts with terminal alkynes smoothly at room temperature to provide ynones in good yield (Tohda et al., 1977; Eckhardt and Fu, 2003). The electron-deficient ynones are good Michael acceptors and react with various nucleophiles to form vinyl ketones (such as enaminone and β-ketoenolether) and heterocycles (such as pyrimidine) (Karpov and Müller, 2003a,b). Ynones are also used as useful precursors for the synthesis of β-halovinyl ketones (Pohland and Benson, 1966; Goossen et al., 2009).
β-Halovinyl ketones are important building blocks in organic synthesis and biochemical processes, and they have been widely used for the constructions of heterocycles such as chromenones, furans, pyrazole, and pyridines (Kim et al., 2012, 2017; Kim and Oh, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2020; Koo et al., 2019a). The methods to form β-halovinyl ketones from ynones generally involve regioselective hydrohalogenation of electron-deficient carbon-carbon triple bond. In these cases, a variety of halogen sources have been employed, including HCl, SnCl4, AlBr3, TMSCl, and LiBr (Scheme 1A) (Kundu and Chaudhuri, 1991; Shchukin and Vasilyev, 2008; Yang et al., 2011; Semenova et al., 2013; Yan et al., 2015; Zeng et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2017). However, those methods suffer from relatively low stereoselectivity, which limits their synthetic applications. Recently, Xu and co-workers reported an atom-economical method for the regio- and stereoselective hydrohalogenation of ynones and ynamides using DMPU/HX (X = Br or Cl) reagents. Paixão and co-workers reported the regioselective synthesis of (Z)-β-halo α,β-unsaturated carbonyl systems via combination of halotrimethylsilane and tetrafluoroboric acid (da Silva et al., 2019).
Scheme 1. Synthesis of β-halovinyl ketones. (A) Stepwise synthesis of β-halovinyl ketone (previous work). (B) One-pot sonogashira coupling/hydrohalogenation reaction (this work).
Ynones used in these hydrohalogenation methods are usually not commercially available. One of the common ways to prepare the precursor ynones is the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction as mentioned above (Kokubo et al., 1996; Hua et al., 2005; Kashiwabara et al., 2005, 2008; Iwai et al., 2009, 2012; Kashiwabara and Tanaka, 2011). This hydrohalogenation strategy for β-halovinyl ketone synthesis requires a multi-step synthetic procedure (Scheme 1A). Moreover, in the starting material preparation step, at least one equivalent of chemical waste hydrohalide salt (for example, triethylamine hydrochloride) will be generated, which is commonly removed in the workup procedure. From the viewpoint of atom-economy and green chemistry, we envisioned that the chemical waste hydrohalide salt can be reused as the halogen source for the sequential hydrohalogenation to form β-halovinyl ketones by the one-pot treatment of strong Brønsted acid, thus avoiding the use of an external halogen source. Compared to the stepwise methods, this strategy is more step- and atom-economical and environment friendly.
Similar strategies have been developing relying on transition-metal (rhodium and iridium catalyst) (Kokubo et al., 1996; Hua et al., 2005; Kashiwabara et al., 2005, 2008; Goossen et al., 2009; Iwai et al., 2009, 2012; Kashiwabara and Tanaka, 2011), or Lewis acid (Price and Pappalardo, 1950; Benson and Pohland, 1964; Martens et al., 1975; Zhou et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2010; Hosseini-Sarvari and Mardaneh, 2011; Gandeepan et al., 2012; Koo et al., 2019b). However, these developed methods usually require relatively harsh reaction conditions, such as elevated temperature, long reaction time, use of expensive ligands or catalysts. To the best of our knowledge, the efficient synthesis of β-halovinyl ketones at room temperature through the cascade of the Sonogashira coupling and hydrohalogenation has not been reported.
Herein, we developed a one-pot synthesis of (Z)-β-halovinyl ketone via a Sonogashira coupling and hydrohalogenation sequence at room temperature (Scheme 1B). The ynone intermediates are generated in situ from the palladium and copper catalyzed cross coupling of acid halides and terminal alkynes, which are hydrohalogenated to afford (Z)-β-halovinyl ketone using side product hydrohalide salt as a halogen source. This method shows good stereoselectivity, high yield, and broad substrate scope.
Results and Discussion
We commenced our study with the synthesis of β-chlorovinyl ketone 3a through a cross-coupling reaction of phenylacetylene 1 with benzoyl chloride 2 under the catalysis of PdCl2(PPh3)3 and CuI followed by Brønsted acid treatment (Table 1). After systematic optimization of the reaction conditions, we found that the best reaction conditions: 1.0 equivalent of phenylacetylene reacts with 1.3 equivalent of benzoyl chloride in the presence of 2 mol% of PdCl2(PPh3)2, 4 mol% of CuI, and 1.2 equivalent of triethylamine in 1,2-dichloroethane (0.4 M) at room temperature for 10 min, then treat the reaction mixture with 1.5 equivalent of triflic acid for 4 h at room temperature. The stereoselectivity for this transformation is up to 91/9 (Z/E) and (Z)-β-chlorovinyl ketone 3a was obtained in 87% yield (Table 1, entry 14). When triflic acid was replaced with weaker Brønsted acids, such as trifluoroacetic acid (entry 4), acetic acid (entry 5), and benzoic acid (entry 6), chlorovinyl ketone 3a was not generated. This result indicates the crucial role of triflic acid to react with triethylamine hydrochloride to release hydrochloride acid, which acts as the chloride source for the following hydrochlorination step. Other solvents such as ethanol (entry 9) and acetonitrile (entry 10) are not effective for this transformation. Extra co-solvent for the hydrohalogenation step is not necessary. Shorten the reaction time of Sonogashira coupling step to 2 min results in a decrement of the yield (65%) and stereoselectivity (86/14, Z/E).
Table 1. Optimization of reaction conditionsa,b.
With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, we started to explore the substrate scope of this protocol. As showed in Table 2, a wide range of terminal alkynes were suitable in this transformation. Both electron-withdrawing groups, such as Br (3e), Cl (3b, 3c), F (3d) and electron-donating groups, such as Me (3f), OMe (3g) on the aromatic rings are well-tolerated, giving the (Z)-β-chlorovinyl ketone in good to high yield as well as good stereoselectivity. An alkyne bearing a thiophene moiety is also a good coupling partner, giving β-heterocycle-substituted unsaturated ketone 3i in 75% yield with a 92/8 ratio of Z/E isomers. The Z/E ratio of the product can be further increased up to 99/1 when sterically hindered alkynes were used (3l). The low yields were obtained for hydroxyl group-containing products (3h and 3j). It is likely because the hydroxyl group is acid sensitive. Replacement with a less sterically hindered linear 1-hexyne results in a dramatic decrease of the stereoselectivity of the ketone 3k to 41/59 (Z/E), indicating a bulky substituent at the alkyne moiety is important for high stereoselectivity. Trimethylsilyl-containing chlorovinyl ketone 3m was obtained in 63% yield and 89/11 (Z/E) stereoselectivity.
Table 2. Substrate scope of alkynesa,b.
Encouraged by the broad substrate scope of alkynes, we further examined the generality of the acyl chloride counterpart under standard reaction conditions (Table 3). A variety of benzoic acid chlorides substituted with either electron-donating groups (such as Me, OMe) or electron-withdrawing groups (such as F, Cl, Br) react with phenylacetylene and 1-hexyne smoothly, giving β-chlorovinyl ketone in good to excellent yield and high stereoselectivity. Inclusion of a strong electron-withdrawing CN group results 4l in only 27% yield, while the 4m could be formed in 60% yield when this was replaced by CF3. The Z/E ratio of the product is up to 99/1 in most cases. Ketone 4n was obtained in 82% yield from the reaction of aliphatic acid chloride. Thiophene containing product 4o was also obtained in 77% yield and excellent Z/E selectivity (>99/1).
Table 3. Substrate scope of acyl chloridea,b.
To demonstrate the application of this method in organic synthesis, a gram scale experiment was carried out (Scheme 2A). We were delighted to find that the reaction of tert-butylacetylene 5 (10 mmol) with benzoic acid chloride 2 gave ketone 3l in gram-scale with high yield and stereoselectivity. As acid chlorides have been proved to be efficient for this transformation, we then turned our attention to the reactivity of acyl bromide with benzoic acid bromide (Scheme 2B), which gave rise to the β-bromovinyl ketone 6 in satisfactory yield (70%) with excellent Z/E ratio (99/1). However, reaction of 5 with benzoic acid iodide resulted a complex mixture.
Scheme 2. Synthetic application of the protocol. (A) Gram-scale synthesis of chlorovinyl ketone 3I. (B) Reactivity of acyl bromide.
Based on the experimental results and precedents (Chinchilla and Nájera, 2007), a plausible mechanism for this sequential Sonogashira reaction/hydrohalogenation reaction was proposed (Scheme 3). Firstly, palladium precatalyst PdCl2(PPh3)2 forms a reactive Pd(0) species (Amatore and Jutand, 2000), which undergoes oxidative addition with acyl chloride to produce intermediate A. Secondly, the transmetallation of intermediate A with copper acetylide C, which is formed from terminal alkyne via complexation and deprotonation, gives intermediate D. Sequently, reductive elimination of D affords ynone and regenerated Pd(0) species. For the hydrohalogenation step, halogen source HX (such as HCl) is generated from the reaction of triflic acid with triethylammonium chloride formed in Sonogashira coupling step. The Michael addition of the halide source to the ynone E generates an allenyl intermediate G, which tautomerizes to the final product β-halovinyl ketone 3.

Conclusion
We have developed an efficient method for the synthesis of (Z)-β-halovinyl ketones from readily available terminal alkynes and acid chlorides through sequential Sonogashira coupling/hydrohalogenation reaction. This method features simple operations, high yield, and excellent stereoselectivity in most cases. It can be easily scaled up to a gram scale. The broad substrate scopes of both alkyne and acyl chloride show its potential application in organic synthesis.
