1,3-Enyne structural motifs are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis and occur widely in various natural products with many of them being highly active as cytotoxic macrolides and antitumour antibiotics. This article presents the crystal structure of three 1,1,4-triphenyl-substituted 1,3-enynes, viz. 4-(2-methylphenyl)-1,1-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yne, C23H18 (1), 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yne, C23H18O (2), and 4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yne, C22H15NO2 (3). The benzene ring at position 4 of the but-1-en-3-yne group bears a weakly activating methyl group in compound 1, a moderately activating methoxy group in 2 and a strongly deactivating nitro group in 3. The crystal structures of 1 and 3 both have monoclinic symmetry, while that of 2 is orthorhombic, and all of them have one molecule in the asymmetric unit. All three compounds were investigated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Interestingly, enyne 2 is the only compound tested that inhibited the growth of Aspergillus niger.

Reported in this contribution are the synthesis and crystal structures of new mono- and bis-phenylacetylides based on CoIII(DMC) (DMC is 5,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). Chlorido(5,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)(phenylethynyl)cobalt(III) chloride–acetonitrile–methanol (1/1/1), [Co(C8H5)Cl(C12H28N4)]Cl·CH3CN·CH3OH, 1, and (5,12-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)bis(phenylethynyl)cobalt(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate–dichloromethane (2/1), [Co(C8H5)2(C12H28N4)]2(CF3SO3)2·CH2Cl2, 2, were prepared under weak-base conditions in satisfactory yields. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that both 1 and 2 adopt a pseudo-octahedral symmetry in which the Cl—Co—C angles of 1 and C—Co—C of 2 range from 177.7 (2) to 178.0 (2)° and from 177.67 (9) to 179.67 (9)°, respectively. In both structures, the CoIII metal center is coordinated in the equatorial plane by four N atoms, in which the N—Co—N angles range from 85.6 (3) to 94.4 (3)°. The structure of 1 features two crystallographically independent molecules in its triclinic cell (Z′ = 2), which are related to each other by pseudo-monoclinic symmetry. The crystal investigated was twinned by a symmetry operator of the approximate double-volume C-centered cell (180° rotation around [201] of the actual triclinic cell), with a refined twin ratio of 0.798 (3) to 0.202 (3). Both methanol solvent molecules in 1 are disordered, the major occupancy rates refined to 0.643 (16) and 0.357 (16). Compound 2 also contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit, together with two trifluoromethanesulfonate anions [of which one is disordered; occupancy values of 0.503 (16) and 0.497 (16)] and a disordered dichloromethane [occupancy values of 0.545 (12) and 0.455 (12)].

Catalytic Carbonylation

Dialkyl malonates are important organic intermediates that are widely used as building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein, palladium nanoparticles supported on a triphenylphosphine-functionalized porous polymer were successfully developed as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of dialkyl malonates via the catalytic carbonylation of chloroacetates. The influence of reaction parameters such as solvent, base, and promoter on activity was carefully investigated. With a 1 mol% of palladium usage, excellent yields of dialkyl malonates were obtained. Importantly, the catalyst can be easily separated and reused at least four times, without a significant loss in reactivity. Furthermore, the developed catalyst was also highly active for the alkoxycarbonylation of α-chloro ketones.

The title compounds, hexakis[μ3-2-(dimethylamino)ethanolato]hexa-μ2-isopropanolato-μ4-oxido-tetradecalithium(I), [Li7(i-PrO)3(C4H10NO)3]2O (1), and {3-[(2-methoxyethyl)(methyl)amino]-1,1-dimethylpropanolato}diisopropanolsodium(I), [Na(i-PrOH)2(C8H18NO2)] (2), were crystallized in the presence of 2-propanol (i-PrOH, C3H7OH). The structure 1 has monoclinic symmetry (C2/c) and the asymmetric unit contains half of the compound. Title compound 2 has triclinic symmetry (P\overline{1}) and the asymmetric unit is half of an inversion-symmetric aggregate. Both compounds consist of an alkali metal, an aminoalkoxide and a 2-propanol compound. Furthermore, the dimeric sodium aggregate 2 is build up by hydrogen bonding through the 2-propanol and the alkoxides. Compound 1 does not exhibit hydrogen bonding, due to the fact that the 2-propanol is deprotonated. In compound 1, benzene appeared as co-crystallate, but was suppressed by solvent masking because of strong disorder. The formula mass and density do not take account of the solvent.

Herein we report the 3,5bistrifluoromethylphenyl urea-catalyzed functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds. In this system, the urea catalyst mediates the formation of high-energy vinyl carbocations that undergo facile C–H insertion and Friedel–Crafts reactions. We introduce a new paradigm for these privileged scaffolds where the combination of hydrogen bonding motifs and strong bases affords highly active Lewis acid catalysts capable of ionizing strong C–O bonds. Despite the highly Lewis acidic nature of these catalysts that enables triflate abstraction from sp<sup>2</sup> carbons, these newly found reaction conditions allow for the formation of heterocycles and tolerate highly Lewis basic heteroaromatic substrates. This strategy showcases the potential utility of dicoordinated vinyl carbocations in organic synthesis.<br>

Privileged Scaffolds

Enantioenriched <i>α</i>-aminoboronic acids play a unique role in medicinal chemistry and have emerged as privileged pharmacophores in proteasome inhibitors. Additionally, they represent synthetically useful chiral building blocks in organic synthesis. Recently, CuH-catalyzed asymmetric alkene hydrofunctionalization has become a powerful tool to construct stereogenic carbon centers. In contrast, applying CuH cascade catalysis to achieve reductive 1,1-difunctionalization of alkynes remains an important, but largely unaddressed, synthetic challenge. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to synthesize <i>α</i>-aminoboronates <i>via </i>CuH-catalyzed hydroboration/hydroamination cascade of readily available alkynes. Notably, this transformation selectively delivers the desired 1,1-heterodifunctionalized product in favor of alternative homodifunctionalized, 1,2-heterodifunctionalized, or reductively monofunctionalized byproducts, thereby offering rapid access to these privileged scaffolds with high chemo-, regio- and enantioselectivity.<br>

A series of novel 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole analogues was synthesized from cyclization of hydrazones of substituted 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-7-methyl-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazides were prepared from nalidixic acid. The structures of synthesized oxadiazole derivatives and their copper complexes were elucidated on the basis of FTIR, elemental analyses, 1H-NMR and atomic absorption spectral analysis. It was observed from spectral data that metal ligand ratio was 1:1 in all copper complexes and they were bidentate, coordination was found to be done through oxygen of 4-oxo group and nitrogen of oxadiazole ring. The synthesized compounds were further evaluated with biological activities and compared with parent hydrazones. Copper complexes possess antibacterial and antifungal activities better than the oxadiazoles while they have better antioxidant activity then copper complexes. Parent hydrazones were better in all biological activities than synthesized oxadiazoles.

Several 6- and 7-alkoxy-2-oxo-2H-chromene-4-carbaldehydes were prepared from corresponding alkyl ethers of 6- and 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-2-ones by oxidation using selenium dioxide. 6- and 7-Alkoxy-4-methyl-2H-chromenes were obtained with yields of 57-85%. Corresponding 4-carbaldehyde derivatives were prepared with yields of 41-67%. Thiosemicarbazones of these aldehydes with D-galactose moiety were synthesized by reaction of these aldehydes with N-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-Dgalactopyranosyl) thiosemicarbazide with yields of 62-74%. These thiosemicarbazones were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities in vitro against bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans. Several compounds exhibited strong inhibitory activity with MIC values of 0.78- 1.56 μM, including 8a (against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans), 8d (against E. coli and A. niger), 9a (against S. aureus), and 9c (against S. aureus and C. albicans).
