The quantum yield of trans-cis isomerization of 3,3-dimethyl-1-(2-naphthyl)-1-butene was measured in the presence of various electron-accepting quenchers in benzene or in acetonitrile.In benzene the quantum yield was increased by addition of some of the quenchers; however, in acetonitrile it was decreased under similar conditions.This was attributed to more efficient formation of olefin triplets through an exciplex in benzene than through radical ion pairs in acetonitrile.

Catalytic semireduction of internal alkynes to alkenes is very important for organic synthesis. Although great success has been achieved in this area, switchable Z/E stereoselectivity based on a single catalyst for the semireduction of internal alkynes is a longstanding challenge due to the multichemo- and stereoselectivity, especially based on less-expensive earth-abundant metals. Herein, we describe a switchable semireduction of alkynes to (Z)- or (E)-alkenes catalyzed by a dinuclear cobalt complex supported by a macrocyclic bis pyridyl diimine (PDI) ligand. It was found that cis-reduction of the alkyne occurs first and the Z-E alkene stereoisomerization process is formally controlled by the amount of H2O, since the concentration of H2O may influence the catalytic activity of the catalyst for isomerization. Therefore, this protocol provides a facile way to switch to either the (Z)- or (E)-olefin isomer in a single transformation by adjusting the amount of water.

A mild, efficient, and practical catalytic system for the synthesis of highly privileged stilbene pharmacophores is reported. This system uses N-heterocyclic carbene palladium (II) Pyridine (NHC-Pd (II)-Py) complex to catalyze the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between olefin derivatives and various bromide. This simple, gentle and user-friendly method can offer a variety of stilbene products in excellent yields under solvent-free condition. And its scale-up reaction has excellent yield and this system can be applied to industrial fields. The utility of this method is highlighted by its universality and modular synthesis of a series of bioactive molecules or important medical intermediates.
