Oxidation of methyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propynoate in the system CF 3COOH-CH2Cl2-PbO2 at 0-2°C within 2 h affords in a preparative yield of 55% a product of oxidative dimerization, dimethyl 2,3-bis(4-methoxyphenylcarbonyl)but-2-ene-1,4- dicarboxylate (II) whose double bond is in E-configuration according to X-ray diffraction data.

Phosphine-mediated reductions of substituted propynoic esters and amides in the presence of water yield the partially reduced α,β-unsaturated esters and amides with highZ-selectivity. The competitivein situ ZtoE-isomerization of the product in some cases lowers theZtoEratios of the isolated α,β-unsaturated carbonyl products. Reaction time and the amounts of phosphine and water in the reaction mixture are the key experimental factors which control the selectivity by preventing or reducing the rates ofZ- toE-product isomerization. Close reaction monitoring enables isolation of theZ-alkenes with high selectivities. The computational results suggest that the reactions could be highlyZ-selective owing to the stereoselective formation of theE-P-hydroxyphosphorane intermediate.

We report the first trans phosphinoboration of internal alkynes. With an organophosphine catalyst, alkynoate esters and the phosphinoboronate Ph2P-Bpin are efficiently converted into the corresponding trans-α-phosphino-β-boryl acrylate products in moderate to good yield with high regio- and Z-selectivity. This reaction operates under mild conditions and demonstrates good atom economy, requiring only a modest excess of the phosphinoboronate. X-ray crystallography experiments allowed structural assignment of the unprecedented and densely functionalized (Z)-α-phosphino-β-boryl acrylate products.
