Abstract:
The reactivity and selectivity of 1,3-diynes in transition-metal-catalyzed CH activation is exploited to quickly assemble diverse polysubstituted bisheterocycles, which are highly important but difficult to access. By using the CH activation/1,3-diyne strategy, we overcame the challenges of selectivity (chemo-, regio-, and mono-/diannulation) and constructed seven kinds of adjacent bisheterocycles through the formation of four strategic bonds with high efficiency and high selectivity.

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
