An unprecedented C═C double bond cleavage of cyclopropenone and dioxygen activation by multiyne cascade coupling has been developed. This chemistry provides a novel, simple, and efficient approach to synthesize fully substituted conjugate benzofuran derivatives from simple substrates under mild conditions. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the unique homolytic cleavages of cyclopropenone and molecular oxygen are crucial to the success of this reaction.

Swern oxidation is widely used to convert alcohols into their corresponding carbonyl compounds. However, the conventional method with use of the volatile oxalyl chloride as an activator requires the reaction to be conducted below -60 °C. We discovered that 3,3-dichloro-1,2-diphenylcyclopropene (DDC) can be used as a new activator for Swern-type oxidations of alcohols, which can be conducted at -20 °C. This new protocol features mild and fast reactions with easy operation. Furthermore, the activator DDC is easy to handle, and diphenylcyclopropenone can be recovered quantitively. This new type of Swern oxidation shows a broad scope of substrates including benzylic, allylic, aliphatic, and biobased alcohols, and gives high yields of up to 93%.
Cyclopropenium-activated cyclodehydration of diols

supporting information; experimental part, p. 740 - 743 (2011/05/04)
The dehydrative cyclization of diols to cyclic ethers via cyclopropenium activation is described. Using 2,3-diphenylcyclopropene and methanesulfonic anhydride, a series of 1,4-and 1,5-diols are rapidly cyclized to furnish tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans in high yield. Eleven total substrates are shown, including a gram scale cyclization of a diterpene derivative.
