The catalytic system composed by the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the oxy-radical TEMPO has been successfully applied in the sustainable oxidation of fourteen propargylic alcohols. The corresponding propargylic ketones were obtained in most cases in quantitative conversions (87–>99 % yield), demonstrating the efficiency of the chemoenzymatic methodology in comparison with traditional chemical oxidants, which usually lead to problems associated with the formation of by-products. Also, the stereoselective reduction of propargylic ketones was studied using alcohol dehydrogenases such as the one from Ralstonia species overexpressed in E. coli or the commercially available evo-1.1.200, allowing the access to both alcohol enantiomers mostly with complete conversions and variable selectivities depending on the aromatic pattern substitution (97–>99 % ee). To demonstrate the compatibility of the laccase-mediated oxidation and the alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed bioreduction, a deracemization strategy starting from the racemic compounds was developed through a sequential one-pot two-step process, obtaining a selection of (S)- or (R)-1-arylprop-2-yn-1-ols with excellent yields (>98 %) and selectivities (>98 % ee) depending on the alcohol dehydrogenase employed.

Tuning laccase/TEMPO-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of secondary propargylic alcohols in aqueous media was accomplished in order to efficiently synthesize ynones. This study led to the formulation of an effective and sustainable catalytic method for the preparation of mono- and bis-substituted ynones compared with traditional oxidative methods.

A synthesis of (Z)-alkene-containing linear conjugated dienyl homoallylic alcohols by using a palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction has been developed. This method shows good functional-group compatibility and generality, with high diastereoselectivity. Additionally, in many cases, the present method controls the alkene stereochemistry of the newly formed C-C bond and overcomes the inherent preference for (E)-alkene formation, giving (Z, E)- and (Z, Z)-products.

In this paper, a palladium-catalyzed [3+2] annulation of allenyl carbinol acetates with azomethine imines has successfully been developed under mild reaction conditions, affording biologically interesting tetrahydropyrazoloisoquinoline derivatives in high to excellent yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. The reaction follows a tandem [3+2] cycloaddition/allylation/elimination of AcOH pathway. Allenyl carbinol acetates also reacted well with in situ generated azomethine imine under cocatalysis of Ag(i)/Pd(0) catalysts in a similar reaction pathway.

A transition-metal-free three-component process that combines aldehydes, 3-(tributylstannyl)propargyl acetates formed in situ from readily available propargyl acetates, and trialkylboranes provides access to a range of 1,2,4-trisubstituted homopropargylic alcohols. The addition of diisopropylamine plays a crucial role in the selective formation of homopropargylic alcohols. Importantly, this methodology can be extended to a single-flask reaction sequence starting from propargyl acetates.

The trialkylborane/O2-mediated reaction of propargyl acetates having a tributylstannyl group at an alkyne terminus with aldehydes in a THF-H2O solvent system gave anti-δ,δ-disubstituted homoallylic alcohols with good to high diastereoselectivity. Intriguingly, two alkyl groups derived from trialkylborane were embedded into the reaction product. The trialkylborane plays a key role not only as a radical initiator but also as a source of alkyl radicals.

Functionalized ynones can be activated by Tf2C=CH2, which was generated in situ, to form zwitterionic species. These species were trapped in an intramolecular fashion by several nucleophiles to generate two major types of triflones in a divergent manner. Through fine-tuning of the reaction temperature, bis(triflyl)-6-membered- or (triflyl)-5-membered-fused-heterocycles were achieved in reasonable yields in a totally selective manner. In this way, bis(triflyl)flavones, bis(triflyl)thioflavones, bis(triflyl)selenoflavones, (triflyl)benzothienopyrans, (triflyl)benzoselenophenopyrans, (triflyl)vinyl aurones, and (triflyl)pyranoindoles were constructed. Conceivable mechanistic pathways were suggested on the basis of the isolation of several intermediates and the results from control experiments.

An efficient methodology for the synthesis of vinyl-, allyl-, and (E)-2-boryl allylboronates from propargylic alcohols via Cu-catalyzed borylation under mild conditions is reported. In the presence of commercially available Cu(OAc)2 or Cu(acac)2 and Xantphos, the reaction affords the desired products in up to 92% yield with a broad substrate scope (43 examples). Isolation of an allenyl boronate as the reaction intermediate suggests that an insertion-elimination-type reaction, followed by borylcupration, is involved in the borylation of propargylic alcohols.

A mild Zn-catalyzed intermolecular Diels-Alder/ene tandem reaction with styrene as a 4π-component is reported. A variety of dihydronaphthalene products could be prepared in moderate to good yields. Moreover, a combination of DFT calculations and experiments was performed to further understand the mechanism of this unique tandem reaction.
