TLDR
A direct synthesis of various ynones from readily available aldehydes and hypervalent alkynyl iodides is described, which can be converted to the desired ynone through an in situ C-C bond oxidative cleavage using molecular oxygen.
Abstract
We describe a direct synthesis of various ynones from readily available aldehydes and hypervalent alkynyl iodides. In this method, a gold catalyst and a secondary amine work synergistically to produce the trisubstituted allenyl aldehyde, which can be converted to the desired ynone through an in situ C–C bond oxidative cleavage using molecular oxygen.
