Reductive alkynylation of aldehydes by the Umpolung approach was developed using a photoredox catalyst under blue LED irradiation. Ketyl radicals, generated by single-electron reduction of aldehydes through proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), reacted with electrophilic alkynylsulfones. Sterically demanding bulky aldehydes reacted smoothly under the Umpolung reaction conditions. Moreover, the alkynylation proceeded chemoselectively with an aryl aldehyde group in the presence of other carbonyl groups including an aliphatic aldehyde group.

Sulfonamides are valuable structural building blocks, bioactives, and pharmaceuticals. While there have been great achievements in the sulfonamidation of alkyl and alkenyl carbon, the sulfonamidation of alkynyl carbon has not been studied. Herein, we report the synthesis of -benzylated sulfonamides from alkoxy aryl alkynes and sulfonamides enabled by Ir-catalyzed reductive sulfonamidation using HCOH as a hydrogen donor.

Previous studies have reported that [PdAu(PA)] (PA = 3,5-(CF)CHC≡C) with an icosahedral superatomic PdAu(8e) core underwent collision-induced sequential reductive elimination (CISRE) of 1,3-diyne (PA) ( 2020, 124, 19119). The most likely scenario after the CISRE of (PA) is the growth of the PdAu(8e) core via the fusion of the Au(0) atoms produced from the Au(PA) units on the core surface. Contrary to expectation, anion photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations regarding the CISRE products [PdAu(PA)] ( = 1-6) revealed that the electronically closed PdAu(8e) core does not grow to a single superatom with (8 + 2)e but assembles with Au(2e) units.

Chiral pincer complexes, characterized by their rigid tridentate coordination framework, have emerged as powerful catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the development of chiral pincer-type ligands and their corresponding transition metal complexes. We highlight the latest progress in their application across a range of catalytic asymmetric reactions, including the (transfer) hydrogenation of polar and non-polar bonds, hydrophosphination, alkynylation, Friedel-Crafts reactions, enantioselective reductive cyclization of alkynyl-tethered cyclohexadienones, enantioselective hydrosilylation, as well as Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions.

α-Amino-CF compounds are widely employed in bio- and pharmaceutical chemistry for improved stability and bioactivities. Traditional methods often face challenges with functional group tolerance and lack a general approach for late-stage functionalization. Herein, we report a new type of redox-active α-amino-CF reagents, easily prepared from trifluoro acetaldehyde hydrates.
