Homolytic hydrobromination of terminal and internal alkynes with a commercially available solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid has been investigated for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes. Under an aerobic atmosphere at room temperature, the reaction of ethynylarenes with a small excess of HBr efficiently gave (2-bromoethenyl)arenes with good to high E-selectivity. (Alk-1-ynyl)arenes, or internal alkynes bearing both phenyl and alkyl groups at the sp-carbons also underwent the air-initiated hydrobromination to exhibit high Z-selectivity under kinetic conditions using a half equivalent of HBr.

The iron-catalyzed intermolecular aziridination of alkenes with hydroxylamine derivatives is described. Using simple iron(ii) sources and readily available ligands, the formal (2 + 1) cycloaddition process proved to be efficient on both styrenes and aliphatic alkenes, providing access to a wide range of aziridines. In these particularly sustainable reaction conditions, yields up to 89% could be obtained, with a catalyst loading which could be lowered to 5 mol% when the reaction was performed on large scale. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that both concerted and stepwise pathways are operating in this transformation. This journal is

The first examples of an iron-catalyzed three-component synthesis of homoallylic boronates from regioselective union of bis(pinacolato)diboron, an alkenyl halide (bromide, chloride or fluoride), and an olefin are disclosed. Products that bear tertiary or quaternary carbon centers could be generated in up to 87 % yield as single regioisomers with complete retention of the olefin stereochemistry. With cyclopropylidene-containing substrates, ring cleavage leading to trisubstituted E-alkenylboronates were selectively obtained. Mechanistic studies revealed reaction attributes that are distinct from previously reported alkene carboboration pathways.

The hydration of carbon-carbon triple bonds is an important and atom economic synthetic transformation. Herein, we report a mild and selective method for the catalytic Markovnikov hydration of (E)-aryl enynes to the corresponding enones, mediated through the bench-stable aminium salt, tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonate (TBPA). The chemoselective and diastereoselective method proceeds under neutral metal-free conditions, delivering excellent product yields from terminal and internal alkyne units. The synthesis of biologically important (E)-3-styrylisocoumarins, including a formal synthesis of the natural product achlisocoumarin III, demonstrates the utility of this novel transformation.

The hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and enynes offers a straightforward synthetic route to the valuable (poly)enals. However, the hydroformylation of terminal alkynes has remained a long-standing challenge. Herein, an efficient and selective Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and conjugated enynes has been achieved by using a new stable biphosphoramidite ligand with strong π-acceptor capacity, which affords various important E-(poly)enals in good yields with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity at low temperatures and low syngas pressures.
Visible light-mediated metal-free double bond deuteration of substituted phenylalkenes

Various bromophenylalkenes were reductively photodebrominated by using 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzo-[d]imidazoline (DMBI) and 9,10-dicyanoanthracene. With deuterated DMBI analogs (the most effective was DMBI-d11), satisfactory to excellent isotopic yields were obtained. DMBI-d11 could also be regenerated from the reaction mixtures with a recovery rate of up to 50%. The combination of the photodebromination reaction with conventional methods for bromoalkene synthesis enables sequential monodeuteration of a double bond without the necessity of a metal catalyst.

One of the most oft-employed methods for C-C bond formation involving the coupling of vinyl-halides with aldehydes catalyzed by Ni and Cr (Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi, NHK) has been rendered more practical using an electroreductive manifold. Although early studies pointed to the feasibility of such a process, those precedents were never applied by others due to cumbersome setups and limited scope. Here we show that a carefully optimized electroreductive procedure can enable a more sustainable approach to NHK, even in an asymmetric fashion on highly complex medicinally relevant systems. The e-NHK can even enable non-canonical substrate classes, such as redox-active esters, to participate with low loadings of Cr when conventional chemical techniques fail. A combination of detailed kinetics, cyclic voltammetry, and in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry of these processes illuminates the subtle features of this mechanistically intricate process.

A general strategy to enable the formalanti-hydrozirconation of arylacetylenes is reported that mergescis-hydrometallation using the Schwartz Reagent (Cp2ZrHCl) with a subsequent light-mediated geometric isomerization atλ= 400 nm. Mechanistic delineation of thecontra-thermodynamic isomerization step indicates that a minor reaction product functions as an efficientin situgenerated photocatalyst. Coupling of theE-vinyl zirconium species with an alkyne unit generates a conjugated diene: this has been leveraged as a selective energy transfer catalyst to enableE→Zisomerization of an organometallic species. Through anUmpolungmetal-halogen exchange process (Cl, Br, I), synthetically useful vinyl halides can be generated (up toZ?:?E= 90?:?10). This enabling platform provides a strategy to access nucleophilic and electrophilic alkene fragments in both geometric forms from simple arylacetylenes.

Transition-metal-catalysed, redox-neutral dehydrosilylation of alkenes is a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis, with current methods suffering from low selectivity and narrow scope. In this study, we report a general and simple method for the manganese-catalysed dehydrosilylation and hydrosilylation of alkenes, with Mn2(CO)10 as a catalyst precursor, by using a ligand-tuned metalloradical reactivity strategy. This enables versatility and controllable selectivity with a 1:1 ratio of alkenes and silanes, and the synthetic robustness and practicality of this method are demonstrated using complex alkenes and light olefins. The selectivity of the reaction has been studied using density functional theory calculations, showing the use of an iPrPNP ligand to favour dehydrosilylation, while a JackiePhos ligand favours hydrosilylation. The reaction is redox-neutral and atom-economical, exhibits a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance, and is suitable for various synthetic applications on a gram scale.

A general and practical protocol for the construction of isoxazolidine-fused isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones has been described by electrochemical-oxidation-induced intramolecular annulation via amidyl radicals. In an undivided cell, isoquinolinones could be easily generated from various available amides bearing CONHOR groups under metal-free, additive-free and external oxidant-free conditions. Moreover, this transformation proceeded smoothly by using cheap 95% ethanol as the green solvent and could be extended to the gram scale.
