The alkyne alkoxycarbonylation to α- or β-substituted acrylates was coupled with the electrocatalytic reduction of CO to CO. The CO-enriched gaseous mixture produced from the electrocatalytic reduction of CO was collected and directly used in the alkyne alkoxycarbonylation. The CO content was found to be critical to the process of carbonylation, and satisfying results were attained by using the gas mixture containing >15 vol % CO. This method offered an efficient but simple CO source from CO electroreduction to the alkoxycarbonylation reaction in two-compartment manner.

Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of internal alkynes provides a straightforward access to α,β-disubstituted acrylic esters. Compared with the well-established regioselective alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes, the regioselective hydrocarboxylation of non-functionalized unsymmetric internal alkynes was more challenging owing to the delicate differences of properties between the two substituents. Herein, by using either monophosphine ligand based on 2,3-dihydrobenzo[d][1,3]oxaphosphole motif or bidentate ligand Ph-Phox, the regioselective alkoxycarbonylations of aryl-aryl, aryl-alkyl and alkyl-alkyl disubstituted alkynes were achieved, giving a diversity of trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters with moderate to excellent yields and high regioselectivity.

Controlling the regioselectivity for the alkoxycarbonylation of unsymmetric internal alkynes is challenging. Herein, a palladium-catalyzed ligand-controlled regiodivergent alkoxycarbonylation of internal trifluoromethylthiolated alkynes was achieved. A series of α- or β-SCF acrylates from the same trifluoromethylthiolated alkyne were obtained with moderate to high yield and regioselectivity.

A method for the synthesis of 4-organoselanyl oxazinoindolone derivatives by the cascade cyclization of N-(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-alkynylindoles using iron(III) chloride and diorganyl diselenides as promoters was developed. This protocol was applied to a series of N-(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-alkynylindoles containing different substituents. The reaction conditions also tolerated a variety of diorganyl diselenides having both electron donating and electron withdrawing groups.

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones with alkynes to form 1,3-dithioles is one of the most studied reactions in this class of polysulfur-containing heterocycles. Nucleophilic substitution of chlorine atoms in dimethyl 2-(1,2-dichloro-2-thioxoethylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dicarboxylate, which was obtained by addition one molecules of DMAD to 4,5-dichloro-3-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, led to a series of 2-chloro-2-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)ethanethioamides. Cycloaddition reaction of 2-chloro-2-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)ethanethioamides with activated alkynes led to the unexpected formation of 2-(thiophen-3(2)-ylidene)-1,3-dithioles via new intermediate, 1-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)--phenylethan-1-yliumimidothioate.
