Abstract
Gold-catalyzed intermolecular oxidations of internal alkynes have been achieved with high regioselectivities using 8-alkylquinoline N-oxides as oxidants and in the absence of acid additives. Synthetically versatile α,β-unsaturated carbonyls are obtained in good to excellent yields and with excellent E-selectivities. A range of functional groups such as THP, MOMO, N3, OTBS, and N-Boc are tolerated. This reaction allows α,β-unsaturated carbonyls to be masked as propargyl moieties, thus offering a practical solution to compatibility issues with these functional groups likely encountered in syntheses of complex structures.Keywords
