Abstract: Starting from 3 phenoxy(thio) 1 propyne 1a(1b), 5 phenoxy(thio)3 pentyn 2 ol 2a(2b) were obtained by Grignard reaction. After treating 2a(2b) with Jones reagent, hydroiodination of 3a(3b) with a reagent system of TMSCl/NaI/H2O in CH 3CN, the conjugated product (Z) 5 phenoxy(thio) 4 iodo 3 pentene 2 one 4a(4b) and de conjugated product (Z) 5 phenoxy(thio) 4 iodo 3 pentene 2 one 5a(5b) were generated. In the presence of Pd(PPh3)4, Et 3N, and CO in toluene, the intramolecular cyclization of reducing products of 4a(4b) and 5a(5b) afforded the target compounds (Z)2 phenoxy(thio) methylene γ pentanolide 9a(9b) and (Z)2 phenoxy(thio) methyl 2 penten γ lactone 8a(8b) respectively in good yields. All compounds have been fully characterized by 1H and 13CNMR, IR and MS spectroscopy. The one pot deconjugation and hydroiodination of 3a(3b) with a reagent system of TMSCl/NaI/H2O in CH3CN was the key step.
