Abstract:
AgSbF6-Catalyzed anti-Markovnikov addition of pinacolborane (HBpin) to terminal alkynes to produce the E-vinylboronates is reported. This efficient methodology is scalable, compatible with sterically and electronically diverse alkynes, and works at room temperature under solvent-free condition. The utility of this method is demonstrated in the facile synthesis of the clinically important (E)-2,4,3',5'-tetramethoxystilbene.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
Radical Anti-Markovnikov Addition to Alkenes: Mechanism
The mechanism starts with chain initiation, which involves two steps. In the first chain initiation step, a weak peroxide bond is homolytically cleaved upon mild heating to form two alkoxy radicals. In the second initiation step, a hydrogen atom is abstracted by the alkoxy...
