Iodine-Zinc Exchange Reactions Mediated by i-Pr2Zn. A New Preparation of Secondary Zinc Reagents
Micouin, Laurent,Knochel, Paul
, p. 327 - 328 (1997)
By treatment with i-Pr2Zn, functionalized secondary alkyl iodides undergo a smooth iodine-zinc exchange reaction leading to polyfunctional secondary dialkylzinc derivatives. Remarkably, i-Pr2Zn generated in situ from i-PrMgBr and ZnBr2 undergoes this exchange reaction almost 200 times faster than salt free i-Pr2Zn and constitutes a practical source of i-Pr2Zn for the performance of exchange reactions.

Decarbonylative Sonogashira cross-coupling of carboxylic acids by palladium catalysis is presented. The carboxylic acid is activated in situ by the formation of a mixed anhydride and further decarbonylates using the Pd(OAc)2/Xantphos system to provide an aryl-Pd intermediate, which is intercepted by alkynes to access the traditional Pd(0)/(II) cycle using carboxylic acids as ubiquitous and orthogonal electrophilic cross-coupling partners. The methodology efficiently constructs new C(sp2)-C(sp) bonds and can be applied to the derivatization of pharmaceuticals. Mechanistic studies give support to decarbonylation preceding transmetalation in this process.

Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly used as radical traps in photocatalytic alkynylations. Herein, we report that aryl-substituted EBX reagents can be directly activated by visible light irradiation. They act as both oxidants and radical traps, alleviating the need for a photocatalyst in several reported EBX-mediated processes, including decarboxylative and deboronative alkynylations, the oxyalkynylation of enamides and the C?H alkynylation of THF. Furthermore, the method could be applied to the synthesis of alkynylated quaternary centers from tertiary alcohols via stable oxalate salts and from tertiary amines via aryl imines. A photocatalytic process using 4CzIPN as an organic dye was also developed for the deoxyalkynylation of oxalates.
Ligand-free (: Z)-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes catalyzed by in situ generated oxidizable copper nanoparticles

Herein, we present (Z)-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes based on in situ generated CuNPs in the presence of hydrogen donors, such as ammonia-borane and a green protic solvent. This environmentally friendly method is characterized by operational simplicity combined with high stereo- and chemoselectivity and functional group compatibility. Auto-oxidation of CuNPs after the completion of a semihydrogenation reaction results in the formation of a water-soluble ammonia complex, so that the catalyst may be reused several times by simple phase-separation with no need for any special regeneration processes. Formed NH4B(OR)4 can be easily transformed back into ammonia-borane or into boric acid. In addition, a one-pot tandem sequence involving a Suzuki reaction followed by semihydrogenation was presented, which allows minimization of chemical waste production.
