A general and efficient procedure for C-H alkenylation of arenes with a broad substrate scope catalyzed by Cp*Co was demonstrated with alkynes. A highly selective mono-alkenylation and sequential bis-C-H bond functionalization was displayed to exemplify the versatility of the cobalt catalyst. Isolation of cationic Cp*Co -alkenyl intermediate was achieved under identical catalytic conditions to further establish the proposed pathway.

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of biologically essential pyrroloquinolinones has been developed under Cp*Co catalysis, which involves a cascade reaction of C(7)-H alkenylation with alkynes followed by nucleophilic addition. A wide variety of internal alkynes including enyne, diyne, and ynamide and more challenging terminal alkynes were successfully employed for the annulation in good to excellent yield with high regioselectivity.

The use of earth-abundant first-row transition metals, such as cobalt, in C-H activation reactions for the construction and functionalization of a wide variety of structures has become a central topic in synthetic chemistry over the last few years. In this context, the emergence of cobalt catalysts bearing pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands (Cp*) has had a major impact on the development of synthetic methodologies. Cp*Co(III) complexes have been proven to possess unique reactivity compared, for example, to their Rh(III) counterparts, obtaining improved chemo- or regioselectivities, as well as yielding new reactivities.

The Nakamura reaction using a cationic cobalt(iii) complex, [Cp*Co(CHCN)][SbF] as the catalyst under neutral and aerobic conditions at 110 °C has been described. In solution, the complex is expected to lose a hemilabile acetonitrile ligand to produce a highly electron-deficient cobalt(iii) center, and the Lewis acidic nature of the cobalt center has been exploited for the enolization of the dicarbonyl compounds. The reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with alkynes affords the corresponding alkenyl derivative.

An efficient Cp*Co -catalyzed C8-dienylation of quinoline-N-oxides was achieved by employing allenes bearing leaving groups at the α-position as the dienylating agents. The reaction proceeds by Co -catalyzed C-H activation of quinoline-N-oxides and regioselective migratory insertion of the allene followed by a β-oxy elimination, leading to overall dienylation. Site-selective C-H activation was achieved with excellent selectivity under mild reaction conditions, and 30 mol % of a NaF additive was found to be crucial for the efficient dienylation.

The first cobalt-catalyzed cross-couplings between olefins has been demonstrated to provide C(alkenyl)-H alkenylation and alkylation products, using complex [Cp*Co(CO)I]. While coupling partner acrylates afforded conjugated dienoates, α,β-unsaturated ketones led to γ-alkenyl ketones completely, representing a switchable C-H functionalization controlled by different carbonyl groups.
