Homolytic hydrobromination of terminal and internal alkynes with a commercially available solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid has been investigated for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bromoalkenes. Under an aerobic atmosphere at room temperature, the reaction of ethynylarenes with a small excess of HBr efficiently gave (2-bromoethenyl)arenes with good to high E-selectivity. (Alk-1-ynyl)arenes, or internal alkynes bearing both phenyl and alkyl groups at the sp-carbons also underwent the air-initiated hydrobromination to exhibit high Z-selectivity under kinetic conditions using a half equivalent of HBr.

One of the most oft-employed methods for C-C bond formation involving the coupling of vinyl-halides with aldehydes catalyzed by Ni and Cr (Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi, NHK) has been rendered more practical using an electroreductive manifold. Although early studies pointed to the feasibility of such a process, those precedents were never applied by others due to cumbersome setups and limited scope. Here we show that a carefully optimized electroreductive procedure can enable a more sustainable approach to NHK, even in an asymmetric fashion on highly complex medicinally relevant systems. The e-NHK can even enable non-canonical substrate classes, such as redox-active esters, to participate with low loadings of Cr when conventional chemical techniques fail. A combination of detailed kinetics, cyclic voltammetry, and in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry of these processes illuminates the subtle features of this mechanistically intricate process.

A general strategy to enable the formalanti-hydrozirconation of arylacetylenes is reported that mergescis-hydrometallation using the Schwartz Reagent (Cp2ZrHCl) with a subsequent light-mediated geometric isomerization atλ= 400 nm. Mechanistic delineation of thecontra-thermodynamic isomerization step indicates that a minor reaction product functions as an efficientin situgenerated photocatalyst. Coupling of theE-vinyl zirconium species with an alkyne unit generates a conjugated diene: this has been leveraged as a selective energy transfer catalyst to enableE→Zisomerization of an organometallic species. Through anUmpolungmetal-halogen exchange process (Cl, Br, I), synthetically useful vinyl halides can be generated (up toZ?:?E= 90?:?10). This enabling platform provides a strategy to access nucleophilic and electrophilic alkene fragments in both geometric forms from simple arylacetylenes.
