Abstract:

A direct access to α-iodoeones from iodonium ion and propargylic tosylates or acetates is described. Bis(pyridine) iodonium tetrafluoroborate (IPy2BF4, Barluenga's reagent) promotes the rearrangement of these propargylic alcohol derivatives in mild conditions. The transformation gives β-unsubstituted, β-monosubstituted, and β,β-disubstituted α-iodoenones in high yields. β-Substituted α-iodoenones are obtained with excellent ( Z)-selectivity.
