- Iridium complex-catalyzed addition of water and alcohols to non-activated terminal alkynes
-
The addition of water and alcohols to non-activated terminal alkynes was found to be promoted by an iridium complex combined with Lewis acid and phosphite. Thus, terminal alkynes reacted with water or alcohols to give ketones or ketals, respectively, in good to excellent yields. α,ω-Diyne like 1,7-octadiyne was converted into 1-(2-methyl-cyclopent-1-enyl)ethanone through the intramoleculer aldol condensation of the resulting 2,7-octanedione induced by Lewis acid.

- HYDROLYTIC SELENOXIDE ELIMINATION REACTION FOR THE PREPARATION OF 2-CHLORO-1-OLEFINS
-
2-Chloro-1-olefins were synthesized in a regiocontrolled way from terminal olefins by a sequence involving Markownikoff-addition of PhSeCl, chlorination of the resulting β-chloroalkyl phenyl selenides with SO2Cl2 and, after recrystallization, hydrolysis/s

- DIOLS AS EFFECTIVE COCATALYSTS IN THE PHASE TRANSFER CATALYZED PREPARATION OF 1-ALKYNES FROM 1,2-DIHALIDES
-
Bis-tertiary diols accelerate bis-eliminations of HX from 1,2-dihalides in the presence of an onium salt as phase transfer catalyst and potassium hydroxyde as base.PEG 400 catalyzes the same elimination, but isomerizations from 1-alkyne to mixtures with the 2-alkyne and the 1,2-diene occur easily.

- Application of Phase Transfer Catalysis, 14.- Preparation of Alkynes from Halides with Solid Potassium tert-Butoxide and Crown Ether
-
Preparatively very simple and mild HX eliminations with solid potassium tert-butoxide in petroleum ether in the presence of catalytic amounts of crown-6 are described. 1,2-Dihalides (from alkenes) and 1,1-dihalides (from aldehydes) yield 1-alkynes; internal geminal dihalides (from symmetric ketones) give internal alkynes in excellent yields. 2,2-Dihalides (from methyl ketones) yield homogeneous 1-alkynes only if the 3-position is blocked. (E)-Haloalkenes lead also to alkynes in a syn-elimination process.
