Tertiary propargyl vinyl ethers armed with an electron-withdrawing group (amide or ester) at the tertiary propargylic position have been efficiently transformed into trisubstituted C(2)-chain functionalized furans. The metal-free domino transformation involves a microwave-assisted tandem [3,3]-propargyl Claisen rearrangement/5-exo-dig O-cyclization reaction. The manifold can be performed in a o...

abstract a field experiment was conducted at plant pest and disease research institute in karaj,iran in 2005-2006 to determine the effect of low herbicide dose of clodinafop-propargyl on percentage of wild oat control, yield and economic return of wheat. the experiment included 2 wheat varieties (rooshan and niknejad (less and more competitiveness cultivar, respectively, 4 wild oat densities (0...

The propargyl Claisen rearrangement is a known protocol to gain access to functionalized allenes through the [3,3]-sigmatropic transformation of propargyl vinyl ethers. The correct use of appropriate propargyl vinyl ethers as starting materials coupled with suitable reaction conditions can aid in the development of new domino methodologies in which the allenes are valuable intermediates in rout...

The reaction between trimethylamine with propargyl bromide was studied and the structure of triethyl propargyl ammonium bromide was illustrated by 1HNMR, IR, and Mass spectra.

although several methods for the preparation of 4o propargyl indole derivatives have been published, this synthetic transformation is complicated by the tendency of 3o propargyl alcohols to form allenium intermediates in acidic media.  it is therefore a challenge to find an efficient method for the c-3 propargylation of indoles with 3° propargylic alcohols.  in this paper we wish to report on t...

A simple and mild catalytic coupling reaction of propargyl halides with organotitanium reagents is reported. The reaction of propargyl bromide with organo-titanium reagents mediated by NiCl2 (2 mol%) and PCy3 (4 mol%) in CH2Cl2 afforded coupling product allenes in good to excellent yields (up to 95%) at room temperature. However, NiCl2(PPh3)2 was the best catalyst for substituted propargyl hali...

Three different tetraazamacrocyclic ligands containing four amide substituents that feature groups (namely allyl, styryl and propargyl groups) suitable for polymerisation have been synthesised. Gadolinium(III) complexes of these three ligands have been prepared as potential monomers for the synthesis of polymeric MRI contrast agents. To assess the potential of these monomers as MRI contrast age...

Propargyl groups are attractive functional groups for labeling purposes, as they allow CuAAC-mediated bioconjugation. Their size minimally exceeds that of a methyl group, the latter being frequent in natural nucleotide modifications. To understand under which circumstances propargyl-containing oligodeoxynucleotides preserve base pairing, we focused on the exocyclic amine of cytidine. Residues a...

Predicting the response of individual patients to cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs is critical for developing individualized therapies. With this motivation, an optical molecular imaging approach was developed to detect cisplatin induced changes in the uptake and intracellular retention of choline. Intracellular uptake of choline was characterized using a click chemistry reaction between propargyl ...

A mild method for the regioselective synthesis of propargyl ethers by the coupling of propargyl alcohols with a range of other alcohols is described. The method employs an air- and moisture-tolerant rhenium-oxo complex ((dppm)ReOCl3) as a catalyst for the formation of sp3-carbon-oxygen bonds without the need for prior activation of the propargyl alcohol or deprotonation of the alcohol nucleophi...
