(Z)-1,3-Diaryl-3-cyano-2-propen-1-ones ((Z)-1) are prepared from arenecarbonyl cyanide and terminal arylacetylene in the presence of Pd(OAc)2-PPh3 (1 mol amt. to Pd)-0.5dppb (1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) (0.5 mol amt. to Pd). The reaction proceeded via the formation of acetylenic ketone 3, followed by the palladium-catalyzed addition of HCN, and isomerization of the resulting (E)-1 to (Z)-1. Oxidative addition of arenecarbonyl cyanide to zero-valent palladium metal has been observed by admixture of 4-MeOC6H4COCN to Pd2(dba)3 · CHCl3-PPh3-0.5dppb oxide (dppb oxide = Ph2P(O)(CH2)4P(O)Ph2). The resulting Pd(4-MeOC6H4CO)(CN)(PPh3)(ligand) afforded (Z)-1c by reaction with phenylacetylene. Thus, the role of two kinds of phosphine, PPh3 and dppb, suggests that the former acts as a ligand and the latter works as a reductant of Pd(II). The product (Z)-1 can be photoisomerized to (E)-1 under room light in CDCl3. The product (Z)-1 was obtained by a four-component coupling reaction of 4-iodotoluene, phenylacetylene, KCN, and carbon monoxide. A new synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans is also mentioned.
