, p. 721 - 722 (1992)
The reaction of carbonyl compounds and lithiotrimethylsilyldiazomethane, which generate alkylidenecarbenes, gives a terminal acetylene from an aldehyde and cyclopentene derivatives from ketones.
Total Synthesis of the Antiviral Natural Product Houttuynoid B

supporting information, p. 2935 - 2938 (2016/03/25)
The first total synthesis of houttuynoid B, a powerful antiviral flavonoid glycoside from the Chinese plant Houttuynia cordata, is described. In a key step, a Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement employing an already glycosylated substrate was used to efficiently set up the fully functionalized carbon skeleton. The required benzofuran building block was prepared through a domino Sonogashira coupling/5-endo-dig cyclization and converted into a stable 1-hydroxybenzotriazole-derived active ester prior to linking with a galactosylated hydroxyacetophenone unit. The elaborated synthesis requires only nine steps (11 % overall yield) along the longest linear sequence and paves the way for the preparation of structurally related compounds for further biological evaluation.
Nickel phosphide nanocatalysts for the chemoselective hydrogenation of alkynes

experimental part, p. 21 - 28 (2012/07/27)
Well-defined 25 nm nickel phosphide nanoparticles act as a colloidal catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of terminal and internal alkynes. Cis-alkenes are obtained in mild conditions with good conversion and selectivity. The phosphorus inserted in the Ni-P nanoparticles is critical for the selectivity of the nanocatalyst. Mechanistic investigations using isotope labeling provide insight on the reactants interaction with the nanoparticles surface. They pinpoint the occurrence of CH bond cleavage in terminal alkynes during the reaction.
