An enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed C(sp )-H alkenylation of thioamides with but-2-ynoate ester coupling partners employing thioamide directing groups is presented. The method is operationally simple and requires only mild reaction conditions, while providing alkenylated products as single regioisomers in excellent yields (up to 85 %) and high enantiomeric excess [up to 91 : 9 enantiomeric ratio (er), or up to >99 : 1 er after a single recrystallization]. Diverse downstream derivatizations of the products are demonstrated, delivering a range of enantioenriched constructs. Extensive computational studies using density functional theory provide insight into the detailed reaction mechanism, origin of enantiocontrol, and the unusual regioselectivity of the alkenylation reaction.

We report a metal additive-free iodine-promoted one-step structural reorganization of ynamide-ynes and simultaneous stereoselective 1,2-diiodination of the migrated alkyne to form stereospecific tetrasubstituted alkenyl diiodo-tethered indoles (E-isomer). Molecular iodine is cost effective, user friendly, less toxic, commercially available, and easy to handle. The key features of the reaction include metal-and additive-free environment, selectivity, structural reorganization, mild reaction conditions, simple workup, and gram-scale synthesis.

Catalytic activities of Mn(I) complexes derived from expensive MnBr(CO) salt have been explored in various dehydrogenative transformations. However, the reactivity and selectivity of inexpensive high spin Mn(II) complexes are uncommon. Herein, we have synthesized four new Mn(II) complexes and explored switchable alkenylation and alkylation of methyl heteroarenes employing a single Mn(II)catalyst.
