In the presence of phosphine catalyst and pinacolborane, ynones undergo 1,2-reduction while ynoates undergotrans-hydroboration. Mechanistic insights into the two competing pathways lay grounds for control of selectivity in these processes.

practical aerobic oxidation of propargylic alcohols using Fe(NO3)3⋅9H2O, TEMPO and sodium chloride in toluene at room temperature was applied to various type of propargylic alcohols affording α,β-unsaturated alkynals or alkynones in good to excellent yields. This protocol could be applied in academic laboratories as well as in industrial-scale production. A practical aerobic oxidation of propargylic alcohols

Ynones are efficiently reduced with a mild hydride donor in the presence of a catalytic amount of nucleophilic phosphines. The reactions are selective 1,2-reductions that give propargyl alcohols in yields of up to 96%. It is proposed that success in these reactions depends on the activation of ynones by a Lewis base catalyst. A protic additive plays a key role in suppressing the undesired reaction
