The previously unknown reaction process involved with metal-mediated β-halogen elimination is described, including a description of a vinylic Rosenmund-von Braun reaction of (E)-(1-bromo-2-iodobut-1-en-1-yl)benzene. We investigated the product structures on the basis of crystallographic analyses and revealed that copper cyanide would form bifurcated paths to deliver the isomeric mixtures.

The Lewis acid-promoted generation of destabilized vinyl cations from β-hydroxy diazo ketones leads to an energetically favorable 1,2-shift across the alkene followed by an irreversible C-H insertion to give cyclopentenone products. This reaction sequence overcomes typical challenges of counter-ion trapping and rearrangement reversibility of vinyl cations and has been used to study the migratory aptitudes of nonequivalent substituents in an uncommon C(sp2) to C(sp) vinyl cation rearrangement. The migratory aptitude trends were consistent with those observed in other cationic rearrangements; the substituent that can best stabilize a cation more readily migrates. However, density functional theory calculations show that the situation is more complex. Selectivity in the formation of one conformational isomer of the vinyl cation and facial selective migration across the alkene due to an electrostatic interaction between the vinyl cation and the adjacent carbonyl oxygen work in concert to determine which group migrates. This study provides valuable insight into predicting migration preferences when applying this methodology to the synthesis of structurally complex cyclopentenones that are differentially substituted at the α and β positions.
Palladium-catalyzed methylation of terminal alkynes

, (2019/10/22)
In this communication, a palladium-catalyzed procedure for the methylation of terminal alkynes has been developed. With N,N,N-trimethylbenzenaminium trifluoromethanesulfonate as the methyl source, various desired products were obtained in moderate to good yields. Both aromatic and aliphatic alkynes are applicable.

Herein the first visible-light-activated Sonogashira C?C coupling reaction at room temperature catalyzed by single-metal heterogeneous Cu2O truncated nanocubes (Cu2O TNCs) was developed. A wide variety of aryl halides and terminal alkynes worked well in this recyclable heterogeneous photochemical process to form the corresponding Sonogashira C?C coupling products in good yields. Mechanistic control studies indicated that CO2 enhances the formation of light-absorbing heterogeneous surface-bound CuI-phenylacetylide (λmax=472 nm), which further undergoes single-electron transfer with aryl iodides/bromides to enable Sonogashira Csp2 ?Csp bond formation. In contrast to literature-reported bimetallic TiO2-containing nanoparticles as photocatalyst, this work avoided the need of cocatalysis by TiO2. Single-metal CuI in Cu2O TNCs was solely responsible for the observed Csp2 ?Csp coupling reactions under CO2 atmosphere.
