Wm. Dai et Ax. Wu, First synthesis of a highly strained cyclodeca-1,5-diyne skeleton via intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling, TETRAHEDR L, 42(1), 2001, pp. 81-83
Cyclization of alkenyl bromides 6 and 11 containing a terminal alkyne was a
chieved by using an intramolecular cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(
0) and Cu(I). Under the optimal reaction conditions, cyclodeca-1,5-diyne de
rivatives 7 and 12 were obtained in 43 and 28% yields, respectively. (C) 20
