Herein we describe the microwave-assisted imidazolecatalyzed transformation of propargyl vinyl ethers (PVEs) into multisubstituted salicylaldehyde motives. The reaction is instrumentally simple, scalable and tolerates a diverse grade of substitution at the propargylic position of the staring PVE. The generated salicylaldehyde motives incorporate a broad range of topologies, spanning from simple...

A mild method for the regioselective coupling of propargyl alcohols and allylsilanes is described. The method employs an air- and moisture-tolerant rhenium-oxo complex ((dppm)ReOCl3) as a catalyst for the formation of sp3-carbon-sp3-carbon bonds without the need for prior activation of the propargyl alcohol as a halide or pseudohalide. The stability of the high oxidation state rhenium complex a...

The group 14 chloropropargyls R3EC ≡ CCH2Cl (R3E = (n)Bu3Sn, Ph3Sn, Me2PhSi, (i)Pr3Si, (n)Pr3Si, (n)Bu3Si), obtained by a modified literature procedure, react with LiPPh2 to afford the novel propargyl phosphanes Ph2PCH2C ≡ CER3 in high yield, as viscous oils; (Me3Si)2PCH2C ≡ CSiPhMe2 is similarly obtained from LiP(SiMe3)2. In contrast, the reaction of PhC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CCH2MgCl ...

The anti Parkinson drug, rasagiline [R-(+)-N-propargyl-1-aminoindan], an inhibitor of type B monoamine oxidase, has been shown to suppress apoptosis induced by neurotoxins and oxidative stress. A series of novel propargylaminoindans with a carbamate moiety to inhibit cholinesterase were developed from phamacophore of rasagiline to protect or rescue deteriorated neurons in Alzheimer's and Lewy B...

The title compound, C(16)H(13)NOS, was prepared by alkyl-ation of 1-(benzothia-zol-2-yl)propan-2-one with propargyl bromide. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules that are crystallographically independent but linked to each other by non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, building up a dimeric substructure. The benzothia-zole rings are essentially planar with maximum deviations of 0.005 (1) a...

Triazolated triscalixarene semitubes with different mutual arrangements of two bistriazole sites can be assembled by a four-fold or stepwise CuAAC from calix[4]arenes having four 2-azidoethyl or/and propargyl groups in their structures.

rearrangement of propargyl amine salt, in the presence of a base was studied and it was concluded that this occurs through an allenic intermediate.

Propargyl acetates, in the presence of catalytic amounts of late transition-metal salts such as PtCl(2) or AuCl(3), represent synthetic equivalents of alpha-diazoketones. This notion is corroborated by a concise approach to various sesquiterpene natural products starting from readily available substrates. Specifically, (+)-carvomenthone (17) is converted into propargyl acetate (S)-26 by a seque...
