Abstract:
A highly efficient method for the synthesis of 2-pyridonyl alcohols via gold(I) catalyst was developed. The effect of methanesulfonic acid on the reaction progression with the gold catalyst was determined. The proposed mechanism involves intramolecular cyclization product formation derived from 5-exo-dig and 6-exo-dig addition of the nitrogen for 2-propargyloxypyridine and 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)pyridine, respectively. The pyridinium salt formed by the gold(I) catalyst and methanesulfonic acid undergoes a rearrangement reaction in a weakly basic medium (5% aq. Na2CO3) to form N-alkenyl pyridonyl alcohols. N-alkenyl pyridonyl alcohols can be obtained in moderate to excellent yields using this method.

02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
02:47Alkynes 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.
02:34Preparation of Alkynes: Dehydrohalogenation
Alkynes can be prepared by dehydrohalogenation of vicinal or geminal dihalides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide in liquid ammonia. The reaction proceeds with the loss of two equivalents of hydrogen halide (HX) via two successive E2 elimination reactions.

02:40Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
