The transformation of 1,3-enynes is one of the important methods for obtaining a variety of valuable organic molecules. In the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the difunctionalization of 1,3-enynes via a radical process. However, the hydrofunctionalization of 1,3-enynes has been studied less. Herein, we describe the first example of reductive Co-MHAT-catalyzed Wacker-type oxidation of 1,3-enynes under air conditions with Markovnikov regioselectivity. Valuable conjugated ynones were obtained from the readily available starting material. Furthermore, a broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility, simple operation, mild conditions, diverse downstream transformations, and excellent late-stage modifications demonstrated this method has significant advantages in practical utility.

02:24Reduction 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.
02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
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.
01:14Aldehydes and Ketones to Alkenes: Wittig Reaction Mechanism
The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
