A general synthetic approach to molecular structures that are hybrids of tetraethynylethylene (TEE) and tetravinylethylene (TVE) is reported. The synthesis permits the controlled preparation of many previously inaccessible structures, including examples w
A Commercially Available and User-Friendly Catalyst for Hydroamination Reactions under Technical Conditions

The activity of a simple, commercially available copper salt, [Cu(NCMe)4](BF4) in intramolecular hydroamination reactions of alkynes and allenes is presented. Reactions were successfully carried out in technical acetonitrile in the presence of air. While attempts of alkene hydroamination failed, this catalyst was also found active in intermolecular aza-Michael reactions.

A photocatalytic method for the oxyamination of alkenes using simple nucleophilic nitrogen atom sources in place of prefunctionalized electrophilic nitrogen atom donors is reported. Copper(II) is an inexpensive, practical, and uniquely effective terminal oxidant for this process. In contrast to oxygen, peroxides, and similar oxidants commonly utilized in non-photochemical oxidative methods, the use of copper(II) as a terminal oxidant in photoredox reactions avoids the formation of reactive heteroatom-centered radical intermediates that can be incompatible with electron-rich functional groups. As a demonstration of the generality of this concept, it has been shown that diamination and deoxygenation reactions can also be accomplished using similar photooxidative conditions.
