Abstract

In this study, we successfully synthesized a series of pro-chiral 2-acetyl-N-aryl-2- (prop-2-yn-1-yl)pent-4-ynamide/-2-allyl-4-enamide derivatives 5(a-n) starting from 4- enamide-N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pent-4-ynamide/-N-allyl-4-enamide (4) through a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction. We report, for the first time, a novel C-C bond formation between allyl and acetoacetanilide derivatives, supported by a detailed mechanistic analysis involving alkyne interactions. The reaction mechanism, characterized by a nucleophilic attack at the substrate's carbon center leading to displacement of the leaving group, was validated through Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) analysis, providing deeper insight into its pathway and dynamics.
