AI Article Synopsis
- Alkyne metathesis was used successfully to create a cycloparaphenyleneacetylene derivative through an effective macrocyclization process, yielding high product amounts.
- The structure of the derivative allowed for a close fit with carbon (C), indicating a strong interaction that adjusted the arrangement of the component.
- Strained alkynes facilitated a copper-free reaction, resulting in a 3-fold azide-alkyne cycloaddition at a temperature of 50 °C.
Article Abstract
Alkyne metathesis provided an efficient macrocyclization route to a cycloparaphenyleneacetylene derivative in high yield. The cavity size was suitably matched for C which was tightly bound in an induced-fit fashion. The strained alkynes enabled a copper-free, 3-fold azide-alkyne cycloaddition at 50 °C.

The fused eight-membered carbocycles (EMCs) play vital roles in the medicinal and biological investigations of many natural products and marketed drugs. The traditional synthesis of [6-8-6] benzo-fused derivatives involves multistep reactions and low yields, making the development of a one-step synthesis method a more challenging work. Here, we present a novel strategy for one-step construction of [6-8-6] benzo-fused scaffold from propargyl diazoacetates substituted with benzyl-nitrogen heterocyclic ring via Rh(ll)-catalyzed carbene/alkyne metathesis (CAM) and selective C-H bond insertion.

Article Synopsis
- - A study investigated how gold catalysts affect the synthesis of pyrazolines and dihydropyridines from imines and methyl phenylpropiolate, focusing on three different imines with unique substituents.
- - The research found that the type of nitrogen substituent influences the reaction path: NHCOMe leads to outward ring opening and pyrazoline products, while aromatic substituents prompt inward ring opening and dihydropyridine products.
- - The configuration of dihydropyridine is determined by the substituent on the aromatic ring, with electron-donating groups causing direct formation of 1,4-dihydropyridine and electron-withdrawing groups leading to 1,2-dihyd

The molecular strontium hydride 2 [(Cbz)SrH(L)] (L=benzene, toluene) was isolated and stabilized by employing a sterically demanding carbazole ligand (Cbz=1,8-bis(3,5-ditertbutylphenyl)-3,6-ditertbutylcarbazolyl). Compound 2 was synthesized via phenylsilane metathesis with the corresponding amide (Cbz)SrN(SiMe) and characterized by H NMR, XRD and vibrational spectroscopy methods. We further investigated the stoichiometric reactivity of 2 towards carbon monoxide, azobenzene and trimethylsilylacetylene, showing three distinct reactivity pathways: addition, reduction and deprotonation.

A low-valent niobium species generated from NbCl and 1-methyl-3,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-cyclohexadiene (-Me-CHD) in combination with PPh catalyzed a [2+2+1]-cycloaddition reaction of 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes and 2 equiv of diaryl/dialkylalkynes, leading to isomeric mixtures of multisubstituted cyclopentadienes -. The initial catalyst activation process was a one-electron reduction of NbCl with -Me-CHD to provide [NbCl(μ-Cl) (L)] (L = PMePh (), L = PPh ()) in the presence of phosphine ligands. An NMR spectroscopic time course experiment using complex as the catalyst revealed an induction period for the product formation, corresponding to an additional one-electron reduction of by the substrates to give catalytically active η-alkyne complexes of NbCl.
