Reductive Coupling of Disubstituted Alkynes to Activated Ketones

π-Backbonding in the metal-alkyne complex, as described by the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model, may facilitate alkyne-C=X (X = O, NR) oxidative coupling by conferring nucleophilic character to the bound alkyne.

Due to relativistic effects, iridium is a stronger π-donor than rhodium: (Ph3P)2M(Cl)(CO), M = Ir, νco = 1965 cm-1; M = Rh, νco = 1980 cm-1.

This may account for the ability of iridium-based catalysts to activate nonconjugated alkynes, which embody higher lying LUMOs.

Conclusion

• The work of M. J. Krische is the first systematic investigation of the use of catalytic hydrogenation as a method of C-C coupling since the advent of alkene hydroformylation and the Fischer-Tropsch reaction.

•C-C Bond-forming hydrogenation reactions are analogous to conventional carabanion chemistry, yet they feature complete atom-economy . This makes them particularly suitable candidate reactions for industrial-scale applications .

• Several other retrosynthetic disconnections remain to be explored and may lead to other interesting reactions.
