The reaction proceeded via generation of 1-iodoalkenylrhenium carbene species by sequential 1,2-iodine and 1,5-hydrogen shifts with readily available precursors under neutral conditions. The reaction mechanism and the reactivity of the generated alkenylcarbene species were also investigated. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MuraiMasahito en-aut-sei=Murai en-aut-mei=Masahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakaiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Takai en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=anti-markovnikov addition kn-keyword=anti-markovnikov addition en-keyword=silyl enol ethers kn-keyword=silyl enol ethers en-keyword=terminal alkynes kn-keyword=terminal alkynes en-keyword=metal vinylidenes kn-keyword=metal vinylidenes en-keyword=cycloisomerization kn-keyword=cycloisomerization en-keyword=ruthenium kn-keyword=ruthenium en-keyword=complexes kn-keyword=complexes en-keyword=derivatives kn-keyword=derivatives en-keyword=carbene kn-keyword=carbene en-keyword=functionalization kn-keyword=functionalization END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=21 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=3441 end-page=3445 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190418 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Rhenium-Catalyzed Regioselective ortho-Alkenylation and [3 + 2 + 1] Cycloaddition of Phenols with Internal Alkynes en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=An operationally simple and direct rhenium-catalyzed ortho-alkenylation (C-alkenylation) of unprotected phenols with alkynes was developed.

The [3 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of phenols and two alkynes via ortho-alkenylation was also demonstrated, in which the alkynes functioned as both two- and one-carbon units. These reactions proceeded with readily available starting materials under neutral conditions without additional ligands. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MuraiMasahito en-aut-sei=Murai en-aut-mei=Masahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoMasaki en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Masaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakaiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Takai en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=anti-markovnikov addition kn-keyword=anti-markovnikov addition en-keyword=intramolecular hydroarylation kn-keyword=intramolecular hydroarylation en-keyword=oxidative annulation kn-keyword=oxidative annulation en-keyword=gold kn-keyword=gold en-keyword=hydrophenoxylation kn-keyword=hydrophenoxylation en-keyword=construction kn-keyword=construction en-keyword=cyclization kn-keyword=cyclization en-keyword=vinylation kn-keyword=vinylation en-keyword=alkenes kn-keyword=alkenes END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=21 cd-vols= no-issue=8 article-no= start-page=2668 end-page=2672 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Chromium-Mediated Stannylcyclopropanation of Alkenes with (Diiodomethyl)stannanes en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A stannyl-group-substituted gem-dichromiomethane species, generated in situ from CrCl2, TMEDA, and tributyl(diiodomethyl)stannane, worked as an efficient stannylcarbene equivalent to promote cyclopropanation of alkenes.

The reaction exclusively provided ortho-alkenylphenols; the formation of para or multiply alkenylated phenols and hydrophenoxylation (O-alkenylation) products was not observed. Several mechanistic experiments excluded a classical Friedel-Crafts-type mechanism, leading to the proposed phenolic hydroxyl group assisted electrophilic alkenylation as the most plausible reaction mechanism. For this purpose, the use of rhenium, a metal between the early and late transition metals in the periodic table, was key for the activation of both the soft carbon-carbon triple bond of the alkyne and the hard oxygen atom of the phenol, at the same time. ortho-Selective alkenylation with allenes also provided the corresponding adducts with a substitution pattern different from that obtained by the addition reaction with alkynes. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MuraiMasahito en-aut-sei=Murai en-aut-mei=Masahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoMasaki en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Masaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakaiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Takai en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=alkenylation kn-keyword=alkenylation en-keyword=homogeneous catalysis kn-keyword=homogeneous catalysis en-keyword=reaction mechanisms kn-keyword=reaction mechanisms en-keyword=regioselectivity kn-keyword=regioselectivity en-keyword=rhenium kn-keyword=rhenium END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=8 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=5454 end-page=5459 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2018 dt-pub=20180504 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Amine-Promoted anti-Markovnikov Addition of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds with Terminal Alkynes under Rhenium Catalysis en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Amines have been identified to greatly accelerate the intermolecular anti-Markovnikov addition of carbon nucleophiles to unactivated terminal alkynes.

The resulting sila[6]helicene is a rare example of a five-membered ring-fused [6]helicene, which was isolated as a single pure enantiomer without substituents on the terminal benzene rings. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MuraiMasahito en-aut-sei=Murai en-aut-mei=Masahito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkadaRyo en-aut-sei=Okada en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiyamaAtsushi en-aut-sei=Nishiyama en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakaiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Takai en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= END
