	abstract = {<p>The gamma C(sp(3))-H bond alkynylation of R chains of amides (RC)-C-1(O)NHR, a fundamental class of synthetic substrates, has not been accomplished to date. Here, the first example of palladium(ii)-catalyzed alkynylation of an unactivated gamma C(sp(3))-H bond of alkyl amides (cyclic, linear, and amino acids) is reported. The kinetic experiment shows that the rate of the reaction depends on the coupling partners and the amides. Late-stage diversification of alkynylated amides was developed by utilizing amine and alkyne functionalities.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Herein, we report a novel, molecularly defined NNN-type cobalt pincer complex catalyzed transfer semi-hydrogenation of unbiased alkynes to Z-selective alkenes. This unified process is highly stereo-and chemo-selective and exhibits a broad scope as well as wide functional group tolerance. Ammonia-borane (AB), a bench-stable substrate with high gravimetric hydrogen capacity, was used as a safe and practical transfer hydrogenating source.</p>},
