Propargylation of CoQ0 through the Redox Chain Reaction.

ABSTRACT: An efficient catalytic propargylation of CoQ0 is described by employing the cooperative effect of Sc(OTf)₃ and Hantzsch ester. It is suggested to work through the redox chain reaction, which involves hydroquinone and dimeric propargylic moiety intermediates. A broad range of propargylic alcohols can be converted into the appropriate derivatives of CoQ0 containing triple bonds in good to excellent yields. The mechanism of the given transformation is also discussed.
