Ynones and ynoates react with pinacolborane in a divergent manner in the presence of nucleophilic phosphine catalysts. Ynones are transformed to the corresponding propargyl alcohols in good yields with high regio- and chemoselectivity. Ynoates undergo highly regio- and stereoselective trans-hydroboration to produce E-vinylboronates. Impressive divergence in reactivity of ynones and ynoates can be traced back to the mechanistic aspects of 1,2-reduction and trans-hydroboration. A comparative analysis of the two pathways paints a complex picture in which different reaction rates control selectivity in these seemingly unrelated processes and explains how sufficiently acidic protons in the reaction mixtures can be used to steer the selectivity in different directions.

Asymmetric Dearomatization of Phenols via Ligand-Enabled Cooperative Gold Catalysis.

By employing a chiral bifunctional phosphine ligand, a gold(I)-catalyzed efficient and highly enantioselective dearomatization of phenols is achieved via versatile metal-ligand cooperation. The reaction is proven to be remarkably general in scope, permitting substitutions at all four remaining benzene positions, accommodating electron-withdrawing groups including strongly deactivating nitro, and allowing carbon-based groups of varying steric bulk including tert-butyl at the alkyne terminus. Moreover, besides N-(o-hydroxyphenyl)alkynamides, the corresponding ynoates and ynones are all suitable substrates.

Exclusively α- and highly E/ Z-selective hydroalkylation of ynone, ynoate, and ynamide was achieved via photoredox mediated Ni/Ir dual catalysis with high atom and step economy, producing trisubstituted enones, which are versatile synthetic building blocks. The developed reaction selectively delivered the α/ Z isomer, which is complementary to the previously reported β-alkylation processes. The trisubstituted enones could be transformed to more valuable compounds via post-functionalization.

A regio- and stereoselective thiocyanate addition to ynones is achieved using KSCN in AcOH at 70 °C. The reaction is extendable to ynals, ynesulfones, ynoic acids and ynoates. Adducts from ynones were readily transformed into thiazine-2-thione derivatives under slightly modified reaction conditions.

The development of new hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) strategies within the framework of photoredox catalysis is highly appealing for its power to activate a desired C-H bond in the substrate leading to its selective functionalization. Reported here is the first photoredox-mediated hydrogen-atom transfer method for the efficient synthesis of ynones, ynamides, and ynoates with high regio- and chemoselectivity by direct functionalization of Csp2 (O)-H bonds. The broad synthetic application of this method has been demonstrated by the selective functionalization of C(O)-H bonds within complex molecular scaffolds.
