Asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most powerful methods for the preparation of single enantiomer compounds. However, the chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of the relatively inert unsaturated group in substrates possessing multiple unsaturated bonds remains a challenge. We herein report a protocol for the highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of conjugated enynes while keeping the alkynyl bond intact. Mechanism studies indicate that the accompanying Zn2+ generated from zinc reduction of the CoII complex plays a critical role to initiate a plausible CoI/CoIII catalytic cycle. This approach allows for the highly efficient generation of chiral propargylamines (up to 99.9 % ee and 2000 S/C) and further useful chemical transformations.
Lewis-base-catalysed selective reductions of ynones with a mild hydride donor

Ynones are efficiently reduced with a mild hydride donor in the presence of a catalytic amount of nucleophilic phosphines. The reactions are selective 1,2-reductions that give propargyl alcohols in yields of up to 96%. It is proposed that success in these reactions depends on the activation of ynones by a Lewis base catalyst. A protic additive plays a key role in suppressing the undesired reaction pathways and accelerating the 1,2-reductions.
Gold-catalyzed N,O-functionalization of 1,4-diyn-3-ols with: N -hydroxyanilines to form highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives

This work describes new N,O-functionalization of 1,4-diyn-3-ols with N-hydroxyanilines to yield highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives. In a postulated mechanism, N-hydroxyaniline attacks the more electron-rich alkynes via regioselective N-attack to form unstable ketone-derived nitrones that react with their tethered alkynes via an intramolecular oxygen-transfer to form α-oxo gold carbenes. This new method is applicable to a short synthesis of a bioactive molecule, a PDE4 inhibitor.
