1.1.3 Nickel–Alkyne Complexes 55<br />

at 0 8C. A 0.05 M soln of [Ni(cod) 2](2; 0.20 equiv) in THF and a soln containing the aldehyde<br />

(3.0 equiv) and alkyne (1.0 equiv, 0.3–0.4 M relative to the alkyne) in THF were added sequentially<br />

to the organozinc reagent. After consumption of starting material as measured<br />

by TLC analysis (typically 0.25–0.5 h at 0 8C), the mixture was subjected to an extractive<br />

workup with NH 4Cl/NH 4OH buffer (pH 8) and Et 2O followed by flash chromatography (silica<br />

gel). With the alkyne as the limiting reagent, the product derived from direct addition<br />

of the organozinc to the aldehyde was observed as a significant byproduct. In cases in<br />

which separation of this byproduct was problematic, slightly lower yields were obtained<br />

by employing the aldehyde as the limiting reagent; however, the purification was simpler.<br />

Coupling of Two Alkynes<br />

The couplings of diynes with a third unsaturated component are described in several subsections<br />

throughout Section 1.1.3. However, several other processes merit discussion<br />

here that do not fall into the other categories described. The hydrosilylation of diynes provides<br />

an excellent route to cyclic dienylsilanes. A mechanism was proposed that involves<br />

Si-H oxidative addition, alkyne silylmetalation, alkyne insertion, and C-H bond reductive<br />

elimination to give 59 (Scheme 39). [83] A related process ensues when diynes are treated<br />

with hydrodisilanes, and bicyclic silacyclopentadienes 60 are produced (Scheme 40). [83]<br />

The intermolecular version of this process was first reported by Lappert. [84]<br />

Cheng has demonstrated that spirocyclic cyclopentadienes such as 61 may be produced<br />

upon treatment of an iodoalkene with an alkyne (Scheme 41). [85] A mechanism involving<br />

oxidative addition of nickel(0) to the iodoalkene followed by two sequential alkyne insertions<br />

has been proposed.<br />
