A Brønsted acid catalyzed C3-selective tert-alkylation of indoles using tertiary propargylic and benzylic alcohols has been developed. New C3-propargylated indole derivatives with a quaternary carbon at the propargylic position have been efficiently synthesized. Reactions were performed in air with undried solvents, and water was the only side product of the process.
Palladium(II)/N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Regioselective Heteroannulation of Tertiary Propargyl Alcohols and<i>o</i>-Haloanilines to form 2-Alkenylindoles
Monometallic and bimetallic palladium(II)/N‐heterocyclic carbene complexes appended with naphthalimide or bisnaphthalimide moieties were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Employment of these catalysts brings about the step‐economic and regioselective heteroannulation of tertiary propargyl alcohols with o‐haloanilines resulting in biologically and pharmaceutically relevant 2‐alkenylindoles.

A method to prepare highly conjugated indenes efficiently by iron(III) chloride-catalysed dimerisation of trisubstituted propargylic alcohols under very mild conditions at room temperature is described. The reactions are rapid and operationally straightforward, giving the indene products in good yields and regioselectivity.

An in situ generated Zncomplex of salen ligand 4 was found to serve as an efficient catalyst for asymmetric addition reaction of an alkynylzinc reagent to various ketones. For example, addition of phenylacetylene to 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone using the Zncomplex as catalyst showed enantioselectivity as high as 91% ee.
calcium‐catalyzed direct reduction of propargylic alcohols and ethers has been accomplished by using triethylsilane as a nucleophilic hydride source. At room temperature a variety of secondary propargylic alcohols was deoxygenated to the corresponding hydrocarbons in excellent yields. Furthermore, for the first time, a catalytic deoxygenation of tertiary propargylic alcohols was generallyapplicable. The
