Diphenylphosphinoethane (DPPE)-catalyzed and ZnI-promoted in situ formation of oxazolidine, alkynyl zinc, and propargylamine intermediates from 1-alkynes, chiral (S)-diphenyl(pyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol, and propiolates gave the corresponding chiral (R)-β-allenoates in 40-72% yield with up to >99% ee. The intermediate propargylamine was isolated in 50% yield and converted to give the β-allenoate 10aa in 68% yield and 96% ee upon reaction with ZnI. The results are discussed considering a mechanism involving oxazolidine and iminium ions formed in situ followed by addition of alkynyl zinc complex to produce the propargylamine that gives the corresponding allenoate via a 1,5-hydrogen shift in the presence of ZnI.

The Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling (SMC) reaction is a powerful method for forming carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. Recent advancements in SMC reactions have introduced first-row transition metal catalysts, with zinc garnering significant interest due to its cost-effective and eco-friendly nature. Despite progress in experimental protocols, the mechanistic details of zinc-catalyzed SMC reactions are limited.

Organoboronic acids, some of the most common and widely used organoboron compounds, have not yet been used in the cobalt-catalyzed cross coupling reactions, despite cobalt demonstrating good reactivity with zinc reagents, Grignard reagents, and metal organoborates that are formed by -butyl lithium or alkaline metal alkoxide salts and organoboron esters. Herein, a highly efficient and practical cobalt-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl/alkenyl boronic acids and alkynyl chloride under mild reaction conditions is reported. The advantages of the organoboronic acids, along with a broad functional group compatibility and the reaction's tolerance to moisture and air, enable this reaction to be a synthetically useful protocol for the construction of a C(sp)-C(sp) bond.

Article Synopsis
- Novel alkyl zinc complexes with acetamidate/thioacetamidate ligands were synthesized and showed varying coordination modes influenced by their electronic and steric properties.
- These complexes were found to effectively catalyze hydroelementation reactions of alkynyl alcohol/acid substrates, leading to enol ether or unsaturated lactone products under mild conditions.
- Kinetic studies revealed that the reactions are first-order with respect to the catalyst and zero-order in alkynyl substrate, while DFT calculations indicated a mechanism involving an alkoxide-zinc intermediate formed through protonolysis of the Zn-alkyl bond.

The synthesis of two novel phthalonitrile derivatives (3-4) bearing ethynylcyclohex-1-ene and ethynylcyclohexane groups and two peripherally octa substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanines (5-6) were prepared. The synthesis of phthalonitrile derivatives was performed with Sonagashira coupling reaction by using palladium-catalyzed. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by using FT-IR, NMR, mass, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy techniques.
