A novel synthesis of unsymmetrical aryl sulfides, which requires no transition metal catalyst and no oxidant, was developed. This base-promoted cross-coupling reaction proceeded using arylhydrazines and 1 equiv amount of disulfides under inert gas conditions to afford the unsymmetrical aryl sulfides in good yields.

Chiral allylamines are important structural components in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of imines with internal alkynes to synthesize chiral allylamines. The reaction is catalyzed by a cobalt complex derived from commercially available bisphosphine ligand utilizing zinc as the electron donor.

Organic compounds with 1,3-diketone or 3-amino enone functional groups are extremely important as they can be converted into a plethora of carbo- or heterocyclic derivatives or can be used as ligands in the formation of metal complexes. Here, we have achieved the preparation of a series of non-symmetrical β-ketoenamines (O,N,N proligand) of the type (4-MeOCH)C(=O)CH=C(R)NH(Q) obtained through the Schiff base condensation of 1,3-diketones (1-anisoylacetone, 1-anisyl-3-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-propanedione, and 1-anisyl-3-(4,4,4-trifluorotolyl)-1,3-propanedione) functionalized with electron donor and electron-withdrawing substituents and 8-aminoquinoline (R = CH, 4-CHCN, 4-CHCF; Q = CHN). Schiff base ketoimines with a pendant quinolyl moiety were isolated as single regioisomers in yields of 22-56% and characterized with FT-IR, H NMR, and UV-visible spectroscopy, as well as single-crystal X-ray crystallography, which allowed for the elucidation of the nature of the isolated regioisomers.

Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of internal alkynes provides a straightforward access to α,β-disubstituted acrylic esters. Compared with the well-established regioselective alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes, the regioselective hydrocarboxylation of non-functionalized unsymmetric internal alkynes was more challenging owing to the delicate differences of properties between the two substituents. Herein, by using either monophosphine ligand based on 2,3-dihydrobenzo[d][1,3]oxaphosphole motif or bidentate ligand Ph-Phox, the regioselective alkoxycarbonylations of aryl-aryl, aryl-alkyl and alkyl-alkyl disubstituted alkynes were achieved, giving a diversity of trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters with moderate to excellent yields and high regioselectivity.
