Think zinc: Synthetically relevant zinc(II) carbenes are catalytically generated fromalkynes (see scheme). This new approach allows zinc‐catalyzed cyclopropanation and SiHbondinsertionreactions to generate the corresponding cyclopropylfurans or silane derivatives. The structure of the key carbene intermediate was studied using theoretical methods.

A three‐component coupling of alk‐2‐ynals, 1,3‐dicarbonyls and silanes is reported. ZnCl2 serves as an inexpensive and low‐toxic catalyst for the overall transformation, which involves Knoevenagel condensation, cyclization, and carbene SiH bond insertion. The process takes place with high atom economy in the absence of organic solvents and shows a broad scope. This reaction is also applicable to the

An efficient, metal‐free, silicon–hydrogen bond functionalization based on the microwave‐assisted reaction of readily available enynones and silanes is reported. This process seemingly proceeds through a 2‐furyl carbene species, a particularly elusive intermediate. Preliminary studies on the metal‐free oxygen–hydrogen and nitrogen–hydrogen bond functionalization of representative alcohols, azoles and
