Popis: Ethynylbenziodoxol(on)e (EBX) cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents have become popular reagents for the alkynylation of radicals and nucleophiles, but only offer limited possibilities for further structure and reactivity fine‐tuning. Herein, the synthesis of new N‐heterocyclic hypervalent iodine reagents with increased structural flexibility based on amide, amidine and sulfoximine scaffolds is reported. Solid‐state structures of the reagents are reported and the analysis of the I−Calkyne bond lengths allowed assessing the trans‐effect of the different substituents. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps of the reagents, derived from DFT computations, revealed less pronounced σ‐hole regions for sulfonamide‐based compounds. Most reagents reacted well in the alkynylation of β‐ketoesters. The alkynylation of thiols afforded more variable yields, with compounds with a stronger σ‐hole reacting better. In metal‐mediated transformations, the N‐heterocyclic hypervalent iodine reagents gave inferior results when compared to the O‐based EBX reagents.
Four new N‐heterocyclic alkynyl hypervalent iodine reagents have been synthesized. Their structures and reactivity are described and compared to already reported cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents, showing less extended σ holes for tosylated reagents. Good alkyne transfer properties towards strong nucleophiles were observed, but applications in radical and metal‐catalyzed processes were more limited.
