An unprecedented [2+2+1] hydrative annulation of 1,6-enynes with terminal alkynes is achieved using catalytic cationic Rh(I). Thus, a modular assembly of cyclopenta[b]benzofuranols with two consecutive quarternary stereocenters is achieved from readily available alkynes. The reaction is proposed to go through a sequence of 5-membered rhoda-cycle formation, regioselective acetylene insertion, 1,5 H-shift, substrate controlled stereoselective addition of water molecule followed by 1,2-rhodium migration gave contracted rhoda-cycle D and reductive elimination. Necessary control/labelling experiments were conducted to gain insight in to the mechanism.

A unique type of platinum catalysis that is valuable for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones is described. In the presence of PtCl, (2-arylethynyl)trimethylsilanes reacted with HO at 30 °C to give 1,4-diarylbut-3-en-2-ones in moderate to good yields. (2-Alkylethynyl)trimethylsilanes could be efficiently converted into the corresponding hydrative dimerization products by a modified Pt catalyst system.

Metal-organic cages (MOCs) have garnered significant attention due to their unique discrete structures, intrinsic porosity, designability, and tailorability. However, weak inter-cage interactions, such as van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding can cause solid-state MOCs to lose structural integrity during desolvation, leading to the loss of porosity. In this work, a novel strategy to retain the permanent porosity of Cu-paddlewheel-based MOCs, enabling their use as heterogeneous catalysts is presented.

The Cloke-Wilson rearrangement of unsymmetrical β-diketone-derived cyclopropanes inevitably yields a mixture of two 4-acylated 2,3-dihydrofuran regiomers. By using alkynes as masked acyls, TfNH-promoted Cloke-Wilson rearrangement of polysubstituted 1-(1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl ketones followed by alkyne hydration is described, regioselectively affording 2,3-dihydrofurans bearing 4-acyls nonequivalent to that involved in the Cloke-Wilson rearrangement. The 2,3-dihydrofuran rings with 2,3-diaryls are unexpectedly more stable than their diastereomers under the reaction conditions, guaranteeing the regiospecificity of this hydrative Cloke-Wilson rearrangement with high fidelity.

α-Amino acid derivatives are key components of the molecules of life. The synthesis of α-amino carbonyl/carboxyl compounds is a contemporary challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we report a practical method for the preparation of α-amino acid derivatives via direct hydrative amination of activated alkynes under mild conditions, relying on sulfinamides as the nitrogen source.
