Pd2(dba)3-Ph3P-catalyzed Kumada-Corriu coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl bromides or iodides with alkynyllithiums or the corresponding Grignard reagents furnish Csp-Csp3 bond formation. The superior performance of Ph3P ligand over the trialkylphosphine ligands indicates that this cross-coupling reaction may be a reductive-elimination-controlled process.

A Pd/N-heterocyclic carbene-based catalyst achieves the Sonogashira coupling of an array of functionalized, β-hydrogen-containing alkyl bromides and iodides under mild conditions.

Hydroboration with catecholborane, followed by treatment with easily available reagents such as alkenyl sulfones or alkynyl phenyl sulfones in the presence of a radical initiator, represents an effective and simple one-pot procedure for direct vinylation, formylation, and cyanation.

An efficient protocol for the palladium-catalyzed Heck alkynylation using XPhos as ligand and Cs2CO3 as the base, couples a wide range of functionalized terminal alkynes and substituted benzyl chlorides. An excess amount of base and higher reaction temperatures allows the synthesis of allenes in a one-pot procedure.

1,1-diarylpropadienes and 1,3-diarylpropynes can be prepared by the sequential lithiation of 1-aryl-1-propynes, transmetalation, and the corresponding Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl halides.

The reaction of alkynylboron dihalides with benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols provides an efficient route to internal acetylenes without isomerization of the product alkynes under the reaction conditions.

A general, inexpensive, copper-catalyzed coupling of terminal alkynes with diazo compounds provides ready access to 3-alkynoates. This reaction proceeds efficiently under nonbasic conditions at room temperature and tolerates various functional groups.

The reaction of alkoxides with boron trichloride results in the generation of cations that can be allylated in subsequent transformations. The absence of Brřnsted acids can make a significant difference in such syntheses.
