Abstract:
A palladium-catalyzed tandem carbonylation reaction has been developed for the construction of ynones. This reaction is characterized by readily available starting materials, broad functional group compatibility, and the use of CO as the carbonyl source. Unlike conventional carbonylation methods for synthesizing ynones, this strategy enables the efficient preparation of dialkyl chain-substituted ynones under atmospheric CO pressure. Further gram-scale experiments and derivative synthesis demonstrate the significant synthetic utility of this approach.

Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: Addition–Elimination (SNAr)
The reaction begins with an attack of the nucleophile on the carbon that holds the leaving group. This results in the delocalization of the π electrons over the ring carbons. The resonance interaction between...

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
