A simple procedure has been optimized for the preparation of alkenylaminoborane from alkynes using diisopropylaminoborane and HZrCpCl. Coupled with a magnesium-catalyzed dehydrogenation, it allowed for the use of air- and moisture-stable diisopropylamine. This synthesis has been extended to a one-pot sequence leading directly to bromoalkenes with controlled stereochemistry. As such, it provides an easy, scalable, cheap process to access alkenylboronates and both ()- and ()-bromoalkenes from commercially available alkynes.

In this study, an efficient method for the synthesis of benzoxazoles by coupling catechols, aldehydes and ammonium acetate using ZrCl as catalyst in ethanol is reported. A wide range of benzoxazoles (59 examples) are smoothly produced in high yields (up to 97%). Other advantages of the method include large-scale synthesis and the use of oxygen as an oxidant.

A strategy for the annulation reaction of alkynones with ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate through C-C bond cleavage is described. The zirconium-catalyzed transformation provides access to a wide range of structurally diverse 6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyran-2-ones in moderate to good yields, utilizing NaCO as a base. Further transformations into trifluoromethylated arene derivatives have been demonstrated as well.

Selective cleavage and subsequent functionalization of C-C single bonds present a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Traditionally, the activation of C-C single bonds has been achieved using stoichiometric transition-metal complexes. Recently, examples of catalytic processes were developed in which use is made of precious metals.

The zirconium catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes with N-aryl- and sterically demanding N-alkyl-α-arylated secondary amines by using commercially available Zr(NMe ) is reported. N-phenyl- and N-isopropylbenzylamine are used as amine substrates to establish the alkene substrate scope. Exclusively linear products are obtained in the presence of bulky vinylsilanes.

A zirconium-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation of alkynes to access -substituted allylic amines in an atom-economic fashion is reported. The reaction is compatible with -(trimethylsilyl)benzylamine and a variety of -benzylaniline substrates, with the latter giving the allylic amine as the sole organic product. Various internal alkynes with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents were tolerated.
