transformation of simple ortho-bromobenzyl tertiaryalcohols to chromenes is presented. Their formation is believed to proceed via the formation of a five-membered palladacycle, which, in turn, involves in an intermolecular homocoupling with the second ortho-bromobenzyltertiary alcohol to yield the homo-biaryl bond followed by intramolecular C–O bond formation. Interestingly, when there is an allylic substituent

alcohols were synthesized in an acetylene atmosphere (1 atm). This method features broad substrate scopes, good functional group tolerance, and high Z-selectivity. In addition to the intermolecular difunctionalization of acetylene, the reaction is also amenable to intramolecular ring formation, giving highly valuable indenols and indanones. The mechanistic investigation indicates that the alkenylnickel
