Two strategies were reported to prevent the deactivation of Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) in the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes: reducing the Lewis acidity and polymerizing the Lewis acid. A polymeric Lewis acid (P-BPh3) with high stability was designed and synthesized. Excellent conversion (up to 99%) and selectivity can be achieved in the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes catalyzed by P-BPh3. This catalytic system works quite well for different substrates. In addition, the P-BPh3 can be easily recycled.

Boronic acids can play diverse roles when applied in biological environments, and employing boronic acid structures in tandem could provide new tools for multifunctional probes. This Letter describes a pair of boronic acid functional groups, 2-nitro-arylboronic acid (NAB) and (E)-alkenylboronic acid (EAB), that enable sequential cross-coupling through stepwise nickel- and copper-catalyzed processes. The selective coupling of NAB groups enables the preparation of stapled peptides, protein-protein conjugates, and other bioconjugates.

A nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling has been achieved using (hetero)aryl bromides and vinyl acetate as the coupling partners. This mild, applicable method provides a reliable access to a variety of vinyl arenes, heteroarenes, and benzoheterocycles, which should expand the chemical space of precursors to fine chemicals and polymers. Importantly, a sustainable solvent, dimethyl isosorbide, is used, making this protocol more attractive from the point of view of green chemistry.
