Abstract
We report the first palladium-catalyzed decarbonylative alkynylation of carboxylic-phosphoric anhydrides via highly selective C(O)-O bond cleavage. Carboxylic-phosphoric anhydrides are highly active carboxylic acid derivatives, which are generated through activating carboxylic acids using phosphates by esterification or direct dehydrogenative coupling with phosphites. Highly valuable internal alkynes have been generated by the present method, and the efficiency of this approach has been demonstrated through a wide substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of heterobiarylcyclooctynes bearing an endocyclic heteroatom, oxa-azabenzobenzocyclooctynes (O-ABCs). The integration of design strategies for accelerating strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloadditions results in reactivity with organic azides that surpasses all cyclooctyne reagents reported to date. O-ABCs and related compounds provide insights into the effects of structural modifications on reactivity that can aid in the design of new reagents for click and bioorthogonal chemistry.

Abstract
The Wittig reaction, which is one of the most effective methods for synthesizing alkenes from carbonyl compounds, generally gives thermodynamically stable E-alkenes, and synthesis of trisubstituted Z-alkenes from ketones presents notable challenges. Here, we report what we refer to as Wittig/B─H insertion reactions, which innovatively combine a Wittig reaction with carbene insertion into a B─H bond and constitute a promising method for the synthesis of thermodynamically unstable trisubstituted Z-boryl alkenes. Combined with the easy transformations of boryl group, this methodology provides efficient access to a variety of previously unavailable trisubstituted Z-alkenes and thus provides a platform for discovery of pharmaceuticals. The unique Z-selectivity of the reaction is determined by the maximum overlap of the orbitals between the B─H bond of the borane adduct and the alkylidene carbene intermediate in the transition state.

Abstract
Over decades diazoalkenes (R2 C=C=N2 ) were postulated as reactive intermediates in organic chemistry even though their direct spectroscopic detection proved very challenging. In the 1970/80ies several groups probed their existence mainly indirectly by trapping experiments or directly by matrix-isolation studies. In 2021, our group and the Severin group reported independently the synthesis and characterization of the first room-temperature stable diazoalkenes, which initiated a rapidly expanding research field. Up to now four different classes of N-heterocyclic substituted room-temperature stable diazoalkenes have been reported. Their properties and unique reactivity, such as N2 /CO exchange or utilization as vinylidene precursors in organic and transition metal chemistry are presented. This review summarizes the early discoveries of diazoalkenes from their initial postulation as transient, elusive species up to the recent findings of the room-temperature stable derivatives.

Abstract
Alkynes are attractive synthons for organic chemistry. Despite the prevalence of transition-metal-catalyzed Sonogashira reactions, a transition-metal-free version of the arylation of terminal alkynes is elusive. Herein, we report an efficient transition-metal-free Sonogashira-type coupling reaction for the one-pot arylation of alkynes to construct C(sp)-C(sp2) bonds from a tetracoordinate boron intermediate with NIS as a mediator. With its high efficiency, wide substrate range, and good functional group tolerance, this method is further supported by the gram-scale synthesis and subsequent modification of complex molecules.

Abstract
The rearrangement pathways of two alkylidene carbenes appended to an oxa or thiacyclopentane into the corresponding heterocyclohexynes were elucidated using 13C-labeling experiments. Both carbenes exhibited a preference for migration of the allylic carbon bound to the heteroatom. Anomeric interactions involving a heteroatom lone pair and antibonding orbital of the migrating bond and inductive destabilization of the minor migratory pathway are discussed as plausible reasons for the observed trends.

Abstract
The amidation reaction of a tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one-4-carboxylic acid is a key step in the multi-kilogram-scale preparation of the antimalarial drug SJ733, now in phase 2 clinical trials. In the course of investigating THIQ carboxamidations, we found that propanephosphonic acid anhydride (T3P) is an effective reagent, although the yield and byproducts vary with the nature and quantity of the base. As a control, the T3P reaction of a 3-(2-thienyl) THIQ was performed in the absence of the amine, and the products were characterized: among them are three dimeric allenes and two dimeric lactones. A nucleophile-promoted ketene dimerization process subject to subtle steric and stereoelectronic effects accounts for their formation. Two novel monomeric products, a decarboxylated isoquinolone and a purple, fused aryl ketone, were also isolated, and mechanisms for their formation from the ketene intermediate are proposed.

Abstract
We present a new class of room-temperature stable diazoalkenes featuring a 1,2,3-triazole backbone. Dinitrogen of the diazoalkene moiety can be thermally displaced by an isocyanide and carbon monoxide. The latter alkylidene ketenes are typically considered as highly reactive compounds, traditionally only accessible by flash vacuum pyrolysis. We present a new and mild synthetic approach to the first structurally characterized alkylidene ketenes by a substitution reaction. Density functional theory calculations suggest the substitution with isocyanides to take place via a stepwise addition/elimination mechanism. In the case of carbon monoxide, the reaction proceeds through an unusual concerted exchange at a vinylidene carbon center. The vinylidene ketenes react with carbon disulfide via a four-membered thiete intermediate to give vinylidene thioketenes under release of COS. We present spectroscopic as well as structural data for the complete isoelectronic series (R2C═C═X; X = N2, CO, CNR, CS) including 1J(13C-13C) data. As N2, CO, and isocyanides belong to the archetypical ligands in transition-metal chemistry, this process can be interpreted in analogy to coordination chemistry as a ligand exchange reaction at a vinylidene carbon center.

Abstract
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and alkynes provides new means to probe and control biological processes. A major challenge is to achieve high reaction rates with stable reagents. The optimization of alkynyl reagents has relied on two strategies: increasing strain and tuning electronics. We report on the integration of these strategies. A computational analysis suggested that a CH → N aryl substitution in dibenzocyclooctyne (DIBO) could be beneficial. In transition states, the nitrogen of 2-azabenzo-benzocyclooctyne (ABC) engages in an n→π* interaction with the C=O of α-azidoacetamides and forms a hydrogen bond with the N-H of α-diazoacetamides. These dipole-specific interactions act cooperatively with electronic activation of the strained π-bond to increase reactivity. We found that ABC does indeed react more quickly with α-azidoacetamides and α-diazoacetamides than its constitutional isomer, dibenzoazacyclooctyne (DIBAC). ABC and DIBAC have comparable chemical stability in a biomimetic solution. Both ABC and DIBO are accessible in three steps by the alkylidene carbene-mediated ring expansion of commercial cycloheptanones. Our findings enhance the accessibility and utility of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and encourage further innovation.

Abstract
A series of 1-heteroatom-substituted vinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides were prepared and treated with organometallic reagents to evaluate which combination of sulfoxides and organometallic reagents yielded alkynes the most efficiently. The use of 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and isopropylmagnesium chloride was optimal for this purpose. A variety of 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides were prepared from carbonyl compounds and chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and were converted into alkynes via the sulfoxide/magnesium exchange reaction and subsequent Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell (FBW) rearrangement of the resulting magnesium alkylidene carbenoids. The mechanism of the FBW rearrangement of magnesium alkylidene carbenoids was studied by using 13C-labeled sulfoxides and by using DFT calculations.
