| Summary: | Stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes has been one of the most challenging subjects in synthetic organic chemistry. Regio- and stereoselective difunctionalization of readily available alkynes represents a conceptually straightforward approach toward this goal. In this Masters study, I have developed such an alkyne difunctionalization reaction using a hypervalent iodine reagent as an electrophile and a phosphate ester as a nucleophile. Thus, a three-component reaction involving an internal alkyne, benziodoxole triflate (BXT), and triethyl phosphate or related phosphate ester proceeds smoothly at room temperature, resulting in trans-addition of the benziodoxole (BX) and phosphate groups. The reaction has proved applicable to a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical internal alkynes, thus affording the corresponding β-λ3-iodanyl alkenyl phosphates in a regio- and stereoselective fashion. The BX and phosphate groups of the product can be utilized for sequential cross-coupling, thus allowing for the stereoselective synthesis of all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes. |
