The 1,1‘-binaphthyl macrocycle (S)-2 is found to be an excellent catalyst for the alkyne addition to aldehydes. In the presence of (S)-2 (20 mol %) and Me2Zn (2 equiv) in THF at room temperature, the addition of phenylacetylene to linear or branched aliphatic aldehydes and vinylaldehydes gave various propargylic alcohols with 89−96% ee.
Silica gel was found to efficiently promote the rearrangement of allylic acetates into their most stable regioisomers under microwave irradiation. The reaction is easy to perform and eco-friendly. This method was applied to the metal-free synthesis of 1,3-enynes.
An efficientapproach to 2,5-disubstitutedfurans has been developed by utilizing gold-catalyzed sequential nucleophilic attack onto metal-complexed alkynes with complete regioselectivity. The reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions with commercially available catalysts to afford furans in moderate to excellent yields (up to 96 %) with high diversity.

The readilyavailable and inexpensive BINOL in combination with Ti(O(i)Pr)(4) is found to catalyze the reaction of an alkynylzinc reagent with various types of aldehydes including aliphaticaldehydes, aromaticaldehydes, and other alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes to generate chiral propargyl alcohols with 91-99% ee at room temperature. No previous chiral catalysts have exhibited such a broad scope

The gold‐catalysed double functionalisation of indoles is presented. Enynones are used to annulate indoles via a double sodium tetrachloroaurate‐catalysed process involving a mixture of CH activation and alkyne activation modes of promotion. Good yields for the formation of medicinally relevant [6,5,7]‐tricyclic indoles are realised.
