Co(iii)-catalyzed Z-selective oxidative C–H/C–H cross-coupling of alkenes with triisopropylsilylacetylene

An inexpensive Co(iii)-catalyzed direct oxidative C–H/C–H cross-coupling reaction of acrylamides with triisopropylsilylacetylene to synthsize (Z)-1,3-enynes is presented.

Recent trends and applications of the Cadiot–Chodkiewicz reaction

The Cadiot–Chodkiewicz reaction offers an elegant strategy for the formation of 1,3-diynes via Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkynyl halides with terminal alkynes in the presence of an amine.

Discovery of 1,3-diyne compounds as novel and potent antidepressant agents: synthesis, cell-based assay and behavioral studies

1,3-Diynes compound 7a protected the corticosterone-injured PC12 cells through regulation of the apoptosis related proteins and exerted antidepressant effect in mice forced swim test in a concentration-dependent manner.
