[reaction: see text] Triethylborane-induced hydrometalation of alkynes proceeds in an anti manner to afford the corresponding (Z)-alkenylmetal compounds stereoselectively, where dichloroindium hydride would play a key role. A variety of functional groups including hydroxy, carbonyl, and carboxy groups were tolerant under the reaction conditions. Following iodolysis and cross-coupling reaction of the (Z)-alkenylmetal species show the usefulness of this strategy.

Alkynyl-B(aam) (aam=anthranilamidato) derivatives are readily available bench-stable compounds that undergo remarkably selective reactions with Bu SnH in the presence of [Cp*RuCl] as the catalyst. The addition follows a stereochemically unorthodox trans-selective course; in terms of regioselectivity, the Bu Sn- unit is delivered with high fidelity to the C-atom of the triple bond adjacent to the boracyclic head group ("alpha,trans-addition"). This outcome is deemed to reflect a hydrogen bonding interaction between the protic -NH groups of the benzo-1,3,2-diazaborininone ring system and the polarized [Ru-Cl] bond in the loaded catalyst, which locks the substrate in place in a favorable orientation relative to the incoming reagent.

Macrocyclic natural products are plentiful in the bacteria, archaea, and eukaryote domains of life. For the significant advantages that they provide to the producing organisms, evolution has learned how to implement various types of macrocyclization reactions into the different biosynthetic pathways and how to effect them with remarkable ease. Mankind greatly benefits from nature's pool, not least because naturally occurring macrocycles or derivatives thereof serve as important drugs for the treatment of many serious ailments.

cis-Delivery of H to the π-system of an unsaturated substrate is the canonical course of metal catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. The semireduction of internal alkynes with the aid of [Cp*Ru]-based catalysts violates this rule and affords E-alkenes by direct trans-hydrogenation. A pathway involving σ-complexes and metallacyclopropenes accounts for this unconventional outcome.

Propargyl alcohols are privileged substrates for stereochemically unorthodox trans-hydrostannation reactions catalyzed by [Cp*RuCl] (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), because an incipient hydrogen bond between the -OH group and the polarized [Ru-Cl] unit assists substrate binding. For this very reason, it is also possible to subject diyne derivatives carrying one -OH group to site-selective stannylation, even if the acetylene units are conjugated and hence, electronically coupled. An unusual temperature dependence was observed in that heating tends to improve site-selectivity, whereas per-stannylation is favored when the reaction is carried out in the cold.

[Cp*RuCl] (1) has previously been shown to be the precatalyst of choice for stereochemically unorthodox trans-hydrometalations of internal alkynes. Experimental and computational data now prove that the alkyne primarily acts as a four-electron donor ligand to the catalytically active metal fragment [Cp*RuCl] but switches to adopt a two-electron donor character once the reagent RMH (M = Si, Ge, Sn) enters the ligand sphere. In the stereodetermining step the resulting loaded complex evolves via an inner-sphere mechanism into a ruthenacyclopropene which swiftly transforms into the product.
