Selective reduction strategies based on abundant-metal catalysts are very important in the production of chemicals. In this paper, a method for the electrochemical semihydrogenation and semideuteration of alkynes to form Z-alkenes was developed, using a simple nickel foam as catalyst and H3O+ or D3O+ as sources of hydrogen or deuterium. Good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (Z/E up to 20 : 1) were obtained under very mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeded with terminal and nonterminal alkynes, and also with alkynes containing easily reducible functional groups, such as carbonyl groups, as well as aryl chlorides, bromides, and even iodides. The nickel-foam electrocatalyst could be recycled up to 14 times without any change in its catalytic properties.
A Straightforward, Purification-Free Procedure for the Synthesis of Ando and Still-Gennari Type Phosphonates

Z-Selective Still-Gennari and Ando modifications of the typically E-selective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction are highly valuable synthetic tools in organic chemistry. These procedures are based on application of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphonates or diaryl phosphonates, respectively, for the olefination of carbonyl groups. In our research, we present an improved, straightforward, purificationfree procedure for the synthesis of these reagents. The key step of our procedure is the reaction of phosphonic dichlorides with the appropriate sodium alkoxides, which results in 52-97% isolated yields of the desired products on a gram scale. The whole three-step process is performed in one pot. Most importantly, the product is obtained in over 95% purity after simple extraction, avoiding column chromatography and distillation. Moreover, we present the synthesis of a novel Still-Gennari type reagent, bis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl) phosphonates, which may exhibit improved Z-selectivity in Still-Gennari olefinations.
Heteroleptic Copper-Based Complexes for Energy-Transfer Processes: E → Z Isomerization and Tandem Photocatalytic Sequences

Energy-transfer processes involving copper complexes are rare. Using an optimized heteroleptic copper complex, Cu(bphen)(XantPhos)BF4, photosensitized E → Z isomerization of olefins is demonstrated. The XantPhos ligand afforded sensitizers with improved catalyst stability, while the bphen ligand lengthened the excited-state lifetime. A series of 25 di- and trisubstituted alkenes underwent photoisomerization, including macrocycles and 1,3-enynes. Cu(bphen)(XantPhos)BF4 could also be employed in a tandem ATRA/photoisomerization process employing arylsulfonyl chlorides, an example of photoisomerization with halide-substituted olefins.
