1,2-Diketones were synthesized from styrenes by combining a cross metathesis and a Ru-catalyzed alkene oxidation to an assisted tandem catalytic sequence. The synthesis relies on the use of just one metathesis precatalyst, which was in situ converted to the oxidation catalyst by addition of an alkyl hydroperoxide as a chemical trigger and oxidant. The one-flask sequence can be extended beyond 1,2-diketones to quinoxalines, by condensation of the oxidation products with ortho-phenylenediamine.

The spool-shaped acetylenes bis(p-isopropylphenyl)acetylene (1a) and bis(p-tert-butylphenyl)acetylene (1b) have been synthesized and rigorously characterized.Their hydrogenation reactions have been studied.These acetylenes add hydrogen smoothly in solution, but at low pressures they do not add hydrogen on the metallic catalysts platinum, palladium, and nickel.This anomaly is explained in terms of the postulate that the isopropyl and tertiary butyl groups prevent the CC group from resting flatly upon the catalyst.The simple structure of these molecules provides a crude estimate of the minimum critical distance of approach of the unsaturated moiety of the molecule to the surface of the metallic catalyst for effective hydrogenation.
