RESUMO
The propargylation of aldehydes promoted by microwave irradiation using allenylboron compounds in a chemo- and regioselective way is described. The corresponding products were obtained in short reaction time, high yield and purity without the need of any solvent when allenylboronic acid pinacol ester was used, or using a minimal amount of acetone when potassium allenyltrifluoroborate was used.
RESUMO
An efficient approach for the synthesis of Z-1,3-enynes based on the coupling reaction of Z-vinyl tellurides and alkynes containing a pseudoglycoside moiety is described. The products were obtained in good yields via a stereoselective way. Preliminary screening against three tumor cell lines indicated that the synthesized compounds are promising intermediates for the synthesis of an array of more potent target structures.
