Copper(II) alkynyl species are proposed as key intermediates in numerous Cu-catalyzed C-C coupling reactions. Supported by a β-diketiminate ligand, the three-coordinate copper(II) alkynyl [CuII]-C≡CAr (Ar = 2,6-Cl2C6H3) forms upon reaction of the alkyne H-C≡CAr with the copper(II) tertbutoxide complex [CuII]-OtBu. In solution, this [CuII]-C≡CAr species cleanly transforms to the Glaser coupling product ArC≡C-C≡CAr and [CuI](solvent). Addition of nucleophiles R′C≡C-Li (R′ = aryl, silyl) and Ph-Li to [CuII]-C≡CAr affords the corresponding Csp-Csp and Csp-Csp2 coupled products RC≡C-C≡CAr and Ph-C≡CAr with concomitant generation of [CuI](solvent) and {[CuI]-C≡CAr}-, respectively. Supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, redox disproportionation forms [CuIII](C≡CAr)(R) species that reductively eliminate R-C≡CAr products. [CuII]-C≡CAr also captures the trityl radical Ph3C· to give Ph3C-C≡CAr. Radical capture represents the key Csp-Csp3 bond-forming step in the copper-catalyzed C-H functionalization of benzylic substrates R-H with alkynes H-C≡CR′ (R′ = (hetero)aryl, silyl) that provide Csp-Csp3 coupled products R-C≡CR via radical relay with tBuOOtBu as oxidant.

Two well known synthetic organic reactions Ramirez olefination and Corey-fuchs reactions are integrated in one-pot sequential manner for the synthesis of arylacetylenes and 1,3-enynes starting directly from commercially available aldehydes. The bicyclic amidine 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) along with additive NaOH not only exclusively afforded the terminal alkynes directly from the aldehydes, but also enhanced the reaction rate. The dynamic nature of DBU also facilitated the isolation of 1-bromoalkynes intermediate products. Selection of additive from NaOH and H2O served as a switch for the synthesis of terminal alkyne and 1-bromoalkynes, respectively. (Figure presented.).

The dual role of the bicyclic amidine base 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) was demonstrated in a synthesis of terminal aryl- and styryl-acetylenes. Mechanistically, a tandem process involving elimination/Umpolung/protonation occurs in a single step to generate terminal aryl- and styryl-acetylenes from geminal dibromoalkenes. The key to the success of this transformation lies in the organobase-mediated generation of the acetylide from the 1-bromoalkynes at room temperature. The unique characteristics of DBU as an inherently safer reagent make it an attractive alternative to previous systems wherein required pyrophoric reagents and nonambient temperatures remain unsolved issues. The procedure does not work for the synthesis of alkyl-acetylenes.
