Selective reduction strategies based on abundant-metal catalysts are very important in the production of chemicals. In this paper, a method for the electrochemical semihydrogenation and semideuteration of alkynes to form Z-alkenes was developed, using a simple nickel foam as catalyst and H3O+ or D3O+ as sources of hydrogen or deuterium. Good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (Z/E up to 20 : 1) were obtained under very mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeded with terminal and nonterminal alkynes, and also with alkynes containing easily reducible functional groups, such as carbonyl groups, as well as aryl chlorides, bromides, and even iodides. The nickel-foam electrocatalyst could be recycled up to 14 times without any change in its catalytic properties.

The vicinal diamine motif plays a significant role in natural products, drug design, and organic synthesis, and development of synthetic methods for the synthesis of diamines is a long-standing interest. Herein, we report a regioselective intermolecular three-component vicinal diamination of styrenes with acetonitrile and azodicarboxylates. The diamination products can be produced in moderate to excellent yields via the Ritter reaction. Synthetic applications and theoretical studies of this reaction have been conducted.

The electrophilic alkylthiolation of alkenes, initiated by dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium salts and the subsequent addition of various heteronucleophilies has been well-established. Regarding the use of carbon nucleophiles, however, only carefully designed sp-type carbon sources have been successfully applied. We herein present our findings on the methylthiolation of alkenes with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by carbon-carbon bond formation in the presence of organozinc reagents, thus achieving a catalyst-free protocol toward to the carbosulfenylation of alkenes.
