Oxygenation of alkynes to α,β-acetylenic ketones with dioxygen catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide combined with a transition metal

Abstract

Alkynes were successfully converted into α,β-acetylenic carbonyl compounds through radical-catalyzed aerobic oxidation using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with a transion metal under mild conditions.
