Alkynes react with organoborons under a CO atmosphere in the presence of a rhodium(I) catalyst to afford mainly 5-aryl-2(5H)-furanones, α,β-unsaturated ketones, and indanones. The product selectivity can be tuned by modifying the reaction conditions.

The reaction of anisole with propylene oxide by aluminumchloride has been studied in various kinds of solvents. While the normal Friedel-Crafts reaction yielded 2-(methoxyphenyl)-1-propanols, 1,1-bis(methoxyphenyl)-propanes were also formed in this reaction; these were not obtained by the subsequent reaction of mono(methoxyphenyl) products with another anisole. The yields of 1,1-bis(methoxyphenyl)propanes
A rhodium-copper-TBAF-catalyzed hydroarylation of alkynes with aryl trimethoxysilanes is described. The procedure utilizes a catalytic amount of copper(II) acetate, rhodium, PPh3 and TBAF center dot 3H(2)O under air. Some asymmetric alkynes gave the products with high regioselectivities.

Palladium-Catalyzed Hydroarylation of Alkynes with Arenediazonium Salts
The palladium-catalyzed hydroarylation of arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates with alkynes in the presence of triphenylsilane affords stereoselectively hydroarylation products in moderate to high yields. The reaction tolerates a variety of substituents including keto, ester, cyano, and nitro groups and can be performed as a one-pot procedure generating the arenediazonium salt in situ. With ethyl phenylpropynoate as the starting alkyne, the hydroarylation affords ethyl (2)-2-arylcinnamates stereo- and regioselectively.
