yielding, operationally simple (room temperature, no dry solvents or inert conditions, commercially available catalyst) reaction for the introduction of silylacetylenes on a large range of indole and pyrroleheterocycles with a wide range of functional groups (see scheme).
chemistry is reported. Both phenol and aromatic or aliphatic acid derivatives could be used under operator-friendly conditions (room temperature, technical solvents, under air). The discovery of the superiority of benziodoxolone-derived hypervalent iodine reagent 3d as an alkyne transfer reagent further expands the rapidly increasing utility of hypervalent iodine reagents in catalysis and is expected

Hot alkyne! The in situ generation of ethynyl‐1,2‐benziodoxol‐3(1H)‐one (EBX) from a silyl‐protected reagent by using TBAF is reported. EBX displayed exceptional acetylene transfer ability onto stabilizedenolates (see scheme), even at −78 °C. The mild reaction conditions allowed the first ethynylation reactions of linear keto, cyano, and nitro esters in high yields to give all‐carbon quaternary centers
The present invention describes a new alkynylation and cyanation agent, as well as its preparation and use to introduce nitrile (cyano) or alkyne groups into chemical target molecules by means of an electrophilic reaction. To enable an electrophilic reaction, the chemical backbone of dibenzothiophene was used.
The synthesis of a series of 5‐(alkynyl) dibenzothiophenium triflates, prepared from dibenzo[b,d]thiophene 5‐oxide and the corresponding trimethylsilyl‐substituted alkynes is reported. Their structures were determined by X‐ray crystallography, and their reactivities as electrophilic alkynylation reagents evaluated. Their broad substrate scope and functional‐group tolerance illustrate their potential
