The construction of all-carbon quaternary centers, especially those containing an alkyne-substituted framework, represents an important challenge in organic synthesis. Here we present a novel Fe-catalyzed selective formal insertion of diazo compounds into C(sp)-C(sp) bonds of propargyl alcohols under mild conditions that enables the streamlined construction of alkyne-substituted all-carbon quaternary centers. This unique strategy starts with in situ generation of an ester group in the presence of carboxylic acids, followed by insertion of metal-carbene into C(sp)-C(sp) bonds, which may open up a new reaction mode for exploring metal-carbene insertion into acyclic C-C bonds.
构建全碳季中心,尤其是那些含有炔烃取代骨架的全碳季中心,是有机合成中的一项重要挑战。在此,我们展示了一种新型铁催化反应,即在温和条件下将重氮化合物选择性地正式插入到炔丙醇的C(sp)-C(sp)键中,从而能够简化构建炔烃取代的全碳季中心。这种独特的策略始于在羧酸存在下原位生成酯基,随后将金属卡宾插入C(sp)-C(sp)键中,这可能为探索金属卡宾插入非环状C-C键开辟一种新的反应模式。
