An ongoing challenge in modern catalysis is to identify and understand new modes of reactivity promoted by earth-abundant and inexpensive first-row transition metals. Herein, we report a mechanistic study of an unusual copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-migration of 2-bromostyrenes that reincorporates the bromine activating group into the final product with concomitant borylation of the aryl halide bond. A combination of experimental and computational studies indicated this reaction does not involve any oxidation state changes at copper; rather, migration occurs through a series of formal sigmatropic shifts. Insight provided from these studies will be used to expand the utility of aryl copper species in synthesis and develop new ligands for enantioselective copper-catalyzed halogenation.

A new synthetic route to dihydrobiphenylenes has been developed. The process involves a mild RuII-catalyzed [2+2+2] dimerization of ortho-alkenylarylacetylenes or its more versatile variant, the Ru-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of ortho-ethynylstyrenes with alkynes. Mechanistic aspects of this [2+2+2] cycloaddition are discussed.
