The carbonylation of alkanes 1 under radical-reaction conditions was examined by using ethynyl triflone A as the unimolecular chain-transfer (UMCT) reagent. Good to moderate yields of ethynylketones 2 were prepared by means of this three-component coupling reaction. Higher CO pressures as well as lower concentrations of triflone A improved the efficiency of the reaction over the direct addition, the

We report an efficient and practical iron-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer protocol for assembling acetylenic motifs into functional alkenes. Diversities of internal alkynes could be obtained from readily available alkenes and acetylenic sulfones with excellent Markovnikov selectivity. An iron hydride hydrogen atom transfer catalytic cycle was described to clarify the mechanism of this reaction.
