An efficient method of preparing various terminal alkynes from 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes by using TBAF (tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride) as a base and triphenylphosphane as a reductant was developed. This method is strong base and low/high temperatures free, and can tolerate a broad range of substrates. These advantages were well demonstrated by the application of this method to the total synthesis of polyene natural product dihydroxerulin.

A transition-metal-free, selenium mediated electrophilic cyclization reaction was realized through a one-pot procedure between simple alkynes and triflic anhydride-activated selenoxides to give selenium containing dihydronaphthalene products. This method gave good to very high yields for all products, including selenium-substituted phenanthrene, dihydroquinoline, 2H-chromene, and coumarin, which can be further transformed to other functionalized compounds.

Direct installation of a functional group at remote, unfunctionalized sites in an alkyl chain is a synthetically valuable but rarely reported process. The remote relay hydroarylamination of distal and proximal olefins, and of olefin isomeric mixtures, has been achieved through NiH-catalyzed alkene isomerization and sequential reductive hydroarylamination with nitroarenes. This provides an attractive approach to the direct installation of a distal arylamino group within alkyl chains. The single-step conversion of simple olefins and nitro(hetero)arenes to value-added arylamines is a practical strategy for amine synthesis as well as the remote activation of sp3 C–H bonds. The value of this transformation is further supported by the regioconvergent arylamination of isomeric mixtures of olefins. Modern organic synthesis requires more efficient strategies, such as C–H functionalization, with which to construct complex molecules from readily available chemicals. Undirected functionalization of remote aliphatic C–H bonds is a synthetically valuable but largely unknown process. Synergistic combination of metal-catalyzed chainwalking (migration of a double bond along the hydrocarbon chain, a process involving repeated migratory insertions and β-hydride eliminations) and cross-coupling chemistry offers a general approach to the remote functionalization of easily accessed unsaturated hydrocarbon substrates. In this paper, we demonstrate that direct installation of a distal arylamino group can be achieved from two common feedstock chemicals (olefins and nitroarenes) via nickel hydride chemistry. It is anticipated that the strategy could inspire the development of other remote functionalizations with different regioselectivity as well as asymmetric transformations. Zhu and colleagues describe the remote hydroamination of alkenes with nitro(hetero)arenes through nickel-catalyzed alkene isomerization and sequential reductive relay hydroamination process. Using two common feedstock chemicals, olefins and nitroaromatics, in an operationally simple procedure, this attractive protocol provides efficient and practical access to a wide range of arylamines under mild conditions.
