An operationally simple and atom-economical method for the E-selective preparation of enol ethers is described. A novel dicarbonyl(S-phenyldipyrrinato)rhodium complex, 2, was prepared in four synthetic steps, characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, and then investigated as a catalyst for the intermolecular hydro-alkoxylation of terminal alkynes. Solvent and substrate studies were used to gain insight into the mechanism of the reaction. Cyclic voltammetry was also used to investigate the electronic properties of 2. The rhodium(I)-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroalkoxylation reaction reported here mediates excellent substrate transformation with a high degree of E/Z selectivity which is opposite to that reported previously using alternative catalysts.
A new protocol has been developed for the borylation of conjugated alkenyl methyl ethers using B2Pin2 via C–O bond cleavage catalyzed by Ni(II). In this cross-coupling reaction, both E/Z isomers of alkenyl ethers are converted into (E)-alkenyl boronic esters with good reactivity. This transformation exhibits high chemoselectivity in the presence of competitive C–O bonds such as aryl ether, ester, amide

We report here the first transition-metal-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov intermolecular hydroalkoxylation of terminal acetylenes to give enol ethers in high yields without using bases. Arylacetylenes as well as alkenyl- and alkylacetylenes were coupled with aliphatic alcohols, and the products were obtained with high Z selectivity in most cases. Effective catalysts were 8-quinolinolato rhodium complexes, which are structurally simple but have been relatively unexplored as catalysts.
