Abstract:
An intramolecular vinylogous Rauhut-Currier reaction has been achieved using vinyl arenes as a terminal pseudo-Michael acceptor. Sluggish acrylamide successfully acted as a source of initial enolate. An organocatalytic alkene functionalization via benzylic stabilization of anion was achieved from a remotely located EWG. Various EWGs and even heteroaryl moieties from various positions were applicable. Pleasingly, the present toolbox leads to the synthesis of functionalized quinolone/piperidone derivatives.

Regioselectivity of Electrophilic Additions to Alkenes: Markovnikov's Rule
The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...

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.

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.
