With a zinc Lewis acid catalyst and proton sponge in toluene, terminal alkynes were found to undergo the alkylation by alkyl triflates to provide unsymmetrical internal alkynes. This is the first example that a simple alkyl chain other than benzylic and norbornyl units can be introduced onto the alkynyl carbon atom under Lewis acid catalysis. Mechanistic studies revealed that the activation of the alkyne by the zinc Lewis acid and proton sponge is the trigger of the reaction to give a monoalkynylzinc species, which successively reacts with the alkyl triflate to afford the internal alkyne. A radical pathway is unlikely in this system. (Figure presented.).

We describe the unexpected behavior of the arylsulfonylacetylenes, which suffer an "anti-Michael" addition of organolithiums producing their alkynylation under very mild conditions. The broad scope, excellent yields, and simplicity of the experimental procedure are the main features of this methodology. A rational explanation of all these results can be achieved by theoretical calculations, which suggest that the association of the organolithiums to the electrophile is a previous step of their intramolecular attack and is responsible for the unexpected "anti-Michael" reactions observed for substituted sulfonylacetylenes. A calculated conclusion: A new transition-metal-free strategy for the synthesis of any kind of alkynyl derivatives in high yields in the reaction of organolithium species with arylsulfonylacetylenes is presented (see scheme). Theoretical calculations provide a rational explanation and suggest that association of the organolithium to the electrophile is a previous step of their intramolecular attack and is responsible for the "anti-Michael" reaction.

Transformation of β-chalcogeno alkenylboranes into tetrasubstituted olefins
Gerard, Julien,Hevesi, László
, p. 367 - 381 (2007/10/03)
In view of generating trisubstituted vinylic chalcogen derivatives, β-chalcogeno alkenylboranes generated through the chalcogen electrophile induced rearrangements of 1-alkynyltrialkyl borates have been subjected to Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and to boron to copper transmetalation followed by alkylation. Some of the trisubstituted vinyl sulfides obtained by this latter strategy have been converted efficiently into the title olefins through the NiCl2(dmpe) catalyzed coupling with various Grignard reagents.
