Abstract:
A method for the construction of various thio-bridged compounds is developed using readily available o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates as a source of aryne precursor, catalyzed by simple Pd(dba)2/dppe complex. This operationally simple and modular protocol allows thio-bridged compound via C(sp2)-C(sp2) and C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond formation in promising yields with a broad substrate scope. The key part is in situ generation of an aryne from o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates and their subsequent intermolecular annulation.

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.

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.
