We have developed a novel method to synthesize α-diazoesters from α-hydrazonoesters with a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc)2 in acetonitrile. When the reaction was carried out under an argon atmosphere, the reaction stopped halfway, suggesting that this reaction required oxygen to reoxidize the catalyst. Since hydrazonoesters can be obtained by reduction of α-diazoesters with P(n-Bu)3 in diisopropyl ether, these 2 compounds are mutually interconvertible with ease. Whereas α-diazoesters are unstable and unsuitable for storage, hydrazonoesters are more stable, especially crystalline hydrazonoesters. Thus, hydrazonoesters, which are suitable for long-term storage, could be conveniently used as precursors for α-diazoesters.

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.

Improving carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions is an ongoing process and finding the most versatile and stable catalyst precursors has been of great interest. Ligand design has been proven to be important since it is responsible for providing electron density and steric saturation around the metal centre, thus contributing towards the stereo-electronic properties. The adamantyl moiety has been used to generate highly bulky and electron-rich ligands for application in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions. Accordingly, we have prepared some Schiff-base adamantyl ligands (L1-L3) and complexed them with [PdCl2(MeCN)2] to afford the (pre)catalysts C1-C3, which were successfully applied in Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions. The cross-coupling reaction products were obtained in good yields using 0.5 mol % Pd catalyst loading. C2 and C3 showed remarkable activity in the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions involving substrates with substituents on the olefin and aryl halide (including 4-Cl, 4-CH3, -CO2Me and -CO2Et). We also, observed that the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling system was active towards challenging activated and deactivated aryl chlorides, with to up 70% conversions recorded. The mercury poisoning tests conducted revealed that the catalysts act as homogenous molecular active species in the Mizoroki-Heck reactions and act as both homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
