A direct decarbonylative Sonogashira coupling of terminal alkynes with carboxylic acids was achieved through palladium catalysis. This reaction did not use overstoichiometric oxidants, thus overcoming the homocoupling issue of terminal alkynes. Under the reaction conditions, a wide range of carboxylic acids including those bioactive ones could couple readily with various terminal alkynes, thus providing a relative general method for preparing internal alkynes.

For nearly 70 years, the addition of boron-X σ bonds to carbon-carbon multiple bonds has been employed in the preparation of organoboron reagents. However, the significantly higher strength of boron-oxygen bonds has thus far precluded their activation for addition, preventing a direct route to access a potentially valuable class of oxygen-containing organoboron reagents for divergent synthesis. We herein report the realization of an alkoxyboration reaction, the addition of boron-oxygen σ bonds to alkynes. Functionalized O-heterocyclic boronic acid derivatives are produced using this transformation, which is mild and exhibits broad functional group compatibility. Our results demonstrate activation of this boron-O σ bond using a gold catalysis strategy that is fundamentally different from that used previously for other boron addition reactions.

A sequence of Sonogashira coupling, Pd(II)-catalyzed carbonylative annulation, and benzofuran reduction (Mg, MeOH, NH4Cl) provides a convergent and modular synthetic route to trans-2-aryl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furan- 3-carboxylates, which are a structural feature of numerous biologically active natural products. This versatile strategy was applied to the formal total synthesis of the anti-HIV natural product (+)-lithospermic acid.
