A visible-light-initiated trifluoromethylation/remote aliphatic C-H alkynylation of α-alkyl-substituted vinyl azides using acetylenic triflones as both the trifluoromethyl and alkyne donors is described. The reaction occurred under environmentally benign and radical initiator-free reaction conditions, affording γ-alkynylated trifluoromethyl ketone derivatives with a broad scope of substituents. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction is initiated a triplet-triplet energy transfer between the 4CzIPN catalyst and acetylenic triflone, followed by fragmentation to generate a trifluoromethyl radical and an alkynyl radical.

The azidofunctionalization of alkenes under mild conditions using commercially available starting materials and easily accessible reagents is reported based on a radical-polar crossover strategy. A broad range of alkenes, including vinyl arenes, enamides, enol ethers, vinyl sulfides, and dehydroamino esters, were regioselectively functionalized with an azide and nucleophiles such as azoles, carboxylic acids, alcohols, phosphoric acids, oximes, and phenols. The method led to a more efficient synthesis of 1,2-azidofunctionalized pharmaceutical intermediates when compared to previous approaches, resulting in both reduction of step count and increase in overall yield.

A simple strategy for the synthesis of β-keto phosphorodithioates has been developed through the direct oxyphosphorodithiolation of vinyl azides with PS and alcohols in the presence of water. The reaction is conducted at room temperature to provide a number of β-keto phosphorodithioates in moderate to good yields. This methodology has the advantages of simple operation, mild condition, broad substrate scope, and favorable group compatibility.

By virtue of the high reliability of click chemistry, polymers with clickable groups provide a useful platform for the rapid synthesis of polymer materials with diverse functionalities and architectures. However, the polymerization of clickable vinyl monomers with a concurrent regulation on tacticity remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report the successful development of a stereoselective cationic copolymerization of C-C triple bond-containing vinyl ethers with simple alkyl vinyl ethers by employing confined Brønsted acid as catalyst, which allows for the synthesis of alkyne-functionalized vinyl ether copolymers with high isotacticity (up to 90 % m), controlled molecular weight, and variable content of C-C triple bonds.

A new sulfonyl fluoride reagent 1-bromobut-3-ene-1,3-disulfonyl difluoride (BEDF) was developed. This unique reagent possesses two clickable functionalities to be used for both azide-alkyne cycloaddition click and SuFEx click reactions. This new reagent was applied for the regioselective construction of a class of novel triazolyl vinyl sulfonyl fluorides in which the C-4 position 1-1,2,3-triazoles were functionalized with vinyl sulfonyl fluorides of exclusively -configuration.

Herein, we report that triplet vinylnitrenes with 1,3-biradical character can directly participate in photocycloaddition reactions with olefins to produce single diastereomers of the corresponding 1-pyrrolines under 420 nm LEDs in acetonitrile solvent. Moreover, a one-pot method has been developed to produce pyrroles directly through photocycloaddition and oxidation sequences. The excited state of the substrate olefin can sensitize vinyl azide energy transfer, eliminating the need for an external photocatalyst or sensitizer.
