Herein, we report a catalytic strategy that directly utilizes benzylic ethers as coupling partners through a palladium/copper co-catalyzed pathway. The reaction exhibits broad substrate scope, accommodating a wide range of functionalized benzylic alcohols and terminal alkynes, and provides direct access to valuable ynones.
To support increased transparency, we offer authors the option to publish the peer review history alongside their article.
