9-Methylidenefluorene (IIa) reacts rapidly with HCo(CO)4 at -67 deg C to give a quantitative yield of 9-methylfluorene (IIIa); k2=(13.4 +/- 0.5)*10-2 l mol-1 s-1.Although the internal olefin, 9-ethylidenefluorene (IIb) reacts more slowly than IIa, it is hydrogenated about 2.5 times as fast as the terminal olefin, 1,1-diphenylethylene (I).Measurement of the rate of the reaction of IIb with DCo(CO)4 and comparison with HCo(CO)4 shows a very large inverse isotope effect kH/kD of 0.43.

The ability to induce powerful atom-economic transformation of alkynes is the key feature of carbophilic π-Lewis acids such as gold- and platinum-based catalysts. The unique catalytic activity of these compounds in electrophilic activations of alkynes is explained through relativistic effects, enabling efficient orbital overlapping with π-systems. For this reason, it is believed that noble metals are indispensable components in the catalysis of such reactions. In this study, we report that thermally activated γ-Al2O3activates enynes, diynes, and arene-ynes in a manner enabling reactions that were typically assigned to the softest π-Lewis acids, while some were known to be triggered exclusively by gold catalysts. We demonstrate the scope of these transformations and suggest a qualitative explanation of this phenomenon based on the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model confirmed by density functional theory calculations.

Highly efficient, selective, and direct C-H peroxidation of 9-substituted fluorenes has been achieved using a Mn-2,2′-bipyridine catalyst via radical-radical cross-coupling. Moreover, this method effectively promotes the vicinal bisperoxidation of sterically hindered various substituted arylidene-9H-fluorene/arylideneindolin-2-one derivatives to afford highly substituted bisperoxides with high selectivity over the oxidative cleavage of Ca C bond that usually forms the ketone of an aldehyde. Furthermore, a new approach for the synthesis of (Z)-6-benzylidene-6H-benzo[c]chromene has been achieved via an acid-catalyzed skeletal rearrangement of these peroxides. For the first time, unlike O-O bond cleavage, reductive C-O bond cleavage in peroxides using the Pd catalyst and H2 is described, which enables the reversible reaction to afford exclusively deperoxidized products. A detailed mechanism for peroxidation, molecular rearrangement, and deperoxidation has been proposed with preliminary experimental evidences.
