Herein we report a Ag(i)-promoted homo-dimerization of 2-(alk-2-yn-1-onyl)-1-alkynylbenzenes for the synthesis of structurally novel and functionalized naphthalene derivatives. This transformation exhibits a broad scope for the alkyl as well as aryl groups present on alkynes. Observations made from control experiments suggest the possible mechanism as (i) the homo-dimerization of thein situgenerated benzopyrylium ion intermediates through a head-tail [4 + 2] cycloaddition, followed by (ii) the competitive ring-openingvs. decarbonylative aromatization of the adduct to give formylated and deformylated naphthalenes, respectively.
Rhodium(I)-Catalyzed Decarbonylative Aerobic Oxidation of Cyclic α-Diketones: A Regioselective Single Carbon Extrusion Strategy

A rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylative aerobic oxidation of cyclic α-diketones has been developed for the first time, where the regioselective formations of α-pyrones and isocoumarins have been achieved. The current decarbonylative aerobic oxidation pathway proceeds via the C-C bond cleavage followed by a C-O bond formation, representing a biomimetic oxidation approach to unsaturated six-membered cyclic lactones. The unique ability of rhodium catalysts to induce the decarbonylative aerobic oxidation opens up a new synthetic toolbox that utilizes the "regioselective single carbon" extrusion strategy.
Gold-catalyzed alkylation of silyl enol ethers with ortho-alkynylbenzoic acid esters

Unprecedented alkylation of silyl enol ethers has been developed by the use of ortho-alkynylbenzoic acid alkyl esters as alkylating agents in the presence of a gold catalyst. The reaction probably proceeds through the gold-induced in situ construction of leaving groups and subsequent nucleophilic attack on the silyl enol ethers. The generated leaving compound abstracts a proton to regenerate the silyl enol ether structure.
