- Abstract
- Since the alkynyl moiety is one of the most versatile synthons for many other functional groups, 1,5-diynes (Wurtz-type products of propargyl halides) would be valuable synthetic building blocks for the synthesis of complex functional molecules. However, despite the high and similar reactivity of propargyl radicals compared to allyl and benzyl derivative radicals, a photoredox Wurtz-type reaction of propargyl halides has not yet been developed. In this study, we developed the visible-light-induced selective homocoupling of propargyl bromides to form 1,5-diynes. Electrochemical and photophysical experiments showed that the key propargyl radical generation involves a reductive quenching cycle of the photoexcited [Ir(III)]∗ photocatalyst in the presence of N,N-dicyclohexylmethylamine. The product 1,5-diyne underwent one-step conversion to the functionalized indole derivative via Rh-catalyzed coupling with N-phenylacetamide. These results indicated the high utility of the developed homocoupling method. © 2022 American Chemical Society.
