Abstract

Abstract Image

A new three-component halo aldol reaction has been discovered for the tandem formations of I−C/C−C bonds by activating the α‘,β-positions of α,β-acetylenic ketones. The key intermediates, 1-iodo-3-siloxy-1,3-butadienes, were generated from allenolates and directly monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis. Excellent geometric selectivity (>95%) and good yields (65−82%) have been achieved for 10 examples.
