Article Abstract
It takes al-kynes: The formation of furyl-substituted heterocycles from furanynes with donor groups on the furan-alkyne tether and mechanistic control experiments indicate the involvement of open-chained carbenium ions in the overall insertion of an alkyne into a C-C bond, rather than the usual spirocyclic intermediates.

While the conversion of simple cyclic ketones to lactams via carbon-carbon (C-C) bond cleavage can be accomplished through classical Beckmann and Schmidt rearrangements, these methods suffer from inherent limitations. Beyond regioselectivity challenges, they permit the incorporation of only a single nitrogen atom into the parent carbocyclic framework. Herein, an efficient approach to access medium-to-large sized lactams was developed through an alkyne migratory insertion enabled C-C bond activation of unstrained ketones.

Boravinylidenes are intermediates in 1,1-hydroboration reactions of alkynes en route to vinyl boranes. Unlike transition metal-vinylidene complexes, boravinylidenes have hitherto, not been crystallographically characterized. Pairing bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne with an extremely potent hydroboration reagent, bis(1-methyl--carboranyl)borane, enables crystallization and characterization of a boravinylidene.

The readily accessible iron complex [Cp*FeCl(tmeda)] is an effective catalyst for the highly regio- and stereoselective trans-hydrostannylation of terminal alkyl alkynes, affording a type of alkenylstannanes that is difficult to make otherwise. The RSn- moiety is faithfully delivered to the terminal C-atom, unless a propargylic or homo-propargylic ─OH or ─NH group is present in the substrate, which (partly or fully) inverts the regiochemical course; this steering effect, however, can be switched off upon protection of the protic site. The trans-addition likely starts by insertion of the [Cp*FeCl] fragment into the RSn─H bond, followed by a migratory insertion of the ligated alkyne into the Fe─Sn unit of the Fe(IV) species thus formed.

An investigation into the effect of a phosphine coligand on the activation of precatalysts for manganese-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization is reported. Although simple precatalysts [MnBr(CO)] and [Mn(CO)] are used extensively in these reactions, there is a dearth of alternate precatalyst structures, which has hindered the development of structure-activity relationships. In this work, the effect of substituting a carbonyl ligand for a phosphine ligand is reported.

An alkyl sulfinate anion-mediated hydrosulfonylation of alkenes/alkynes with alkyl bromides involving SO insertion has been developed for the synthesis of alkyl sulfones. Sodium dithionite (NaSO) acts as both an SO surrogate and a single-electron donor, thereby obviating the need for metal catalysts or metallic reductants. This protocol features broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, accommodating a range of bioactive scaffold molecules such as citronellol, estrone, borneol, and cholesterol.
