The vinylation of various nucleophiles with acetylene at a maximum pressure of 1.5 bar is achieved by organocatalysis with easily accessible phosphines like tri-n-butylphosphine. A detailed mechanistic investigation by quantum-chemical and experimental methods supports a nucleophilic activation of acetylene by the phosphine catalyst. At 140 °C and typically 5 mol % catalyst loading, cyclic amides, oxazolidinones, ureas, unsaturated cyclic amines, and alcohols were successfully vinylated. Furthermore, the in situ generation of a vinyl phosphonium species can also be utilized in Wittig-type functionalization of aldehydes.

Production of aromatics from lignin has attracted much attention. Because of the coexistence of C–O and C–C bonds and their complex combinations in the lignin macromolecular network, a plausible roadmap for developing a lignin catalytic decomposition process could be developed by exploring the transformation mechanisms of various model compounds. Herein, decomposition of a lignin model compound, 2-phenoxyacetophenone (2-PAP), was investigated over several cesium-exchanged polyoxometalate (Cs-POM) catalysts. Decomposition of 2-PAP can follow two different mechanisms: an active hydrogen transfer mechanism or an oxonium cation mechanism. The mechanism for most reactions depends on the competition between the acidity and redox properties of the catalysts. The catalysts of POMs perform the following functions: promoting active hydrogen liberated from ethanol and causing formation of and then temporarily stabilizing oxonium cations from 2-PAP. The use of Cs-PMo, which with strong redox ability, enhances hydrogen liberation and promotes liberated hydrogen transfer to the reaction intermediates. As a consequence, complete conversion of 2-PAP (>99%) with excellent selectivities to the desired products (98.6% for phenol and 91.1% for acetophenone) can be achieved.

This Communication describes a successful olefin cross-metathesis with tetrafluoroethylene and its analogues. A key to the efficient catalytic cycle is interconversion between two thermodynamically stable, generally considered sluggish, Fischer carbenes. This newly demonstrated catalytic transformation enables easy and short-step synthesis of a new class of partially fluorinated olefins bearing plural fluorine atoms, which are particularly important and valuable compounds in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry as well as the materials and polymer industries.
