Copper-catalyzed silafunctionalization of alkynes using a silylboronic ester as a silicon source has recently progressed rapidly. Generally, the reaction affords a product with cis-stereoselectivity. We herein describe trans-selective 1,2-addition of silylboronic esters to internal arylalkynes, which was promoted efficiently by the CuOt-Bu/RCy2P/NaOt-Bu catalysts. Moreover, we report a stereochemical switch to cis-addition in the reactions of Me2(i-PrO)Si-B(pin) in hydrocarbon solvents including cyclohexane.

A visible light-induced oxidative α-keto-dichlorination of terminal and internal aryl alkynes was developed to form dichloroacetophenones (DCAPs) and dichlorophenyl-acetophenones (DCPAPs), respectively, by using CuCl as a photoredox catalyst in the presence of air at room temperature (without using any exogenous photocatalyst). Here, photoexcited CuCl underwent ligand-to-metal charge transfer to generate a Cl radical, which readily added to the alkynes to form DCAPs or DCPAPs in the presence of O . This α-keto-dichlorination reaction is a green and mild protocol as it produced water as the only by-product.

A family of d Re(V) alkylidyne complexes bearing two decorated phosphino-phenolates (POs) and a labile pyridine ligand were prepared that can efficiently promote alkyne metathesis reactions in toluene. The relative activity of these complexes varies with the PO ligands. Complexes with an electron-rich metal center have a higher activity.

A highly efficient PtO/PTSA catalyst system for the hydration of a wide array of alkynes was developed. This method proved to be compatible with a large range of functional groups and the ketone products were obtained in high yields. The scope of this methodology was also extended to the synthesis of 3-aryl-isochromenones, -indoles and -benzofurans.

An in-depth computational mechanistic probe of the CuH-mediated hydroamination of internal arylalkynes with an archetype hydroxylamine ester and hydrosilane by a (Xantphos)CuH catalyst (Xantphos ≡ {P^P} ≡ 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene) is presented. This first comprehensive computational study of the CuH-mediated electrophilic alkyne hydroamination has identified the most accessible pathway for the rival avenues for direct and reductive hydroamination. The mechanistic picture derived from smooth energy profiles obtained by employing a reliable computational protocol applied to a realistic catalyst model conforms to all available experimental data.
