Palladium‐Catalyzed Oxidative Synthesis of α‐Acetoxylated Enones from Alkynes

We report a palladium‐catalyzed oxidative functionalization of alkynes to generate α‐acetoxylated enones in one step. A range of functional groups are well‐tolerated in this reaction. Mechanistic studies, including the use of 18O‐labeled DMSO, revealed that the ketone oxygen atom in the product orig...

Description
Summary:We report a palladium‐catalyzed oxidative functionalization of alkynes to generate α‐acetoxylated enones in one step. A range of functional groups are well‐tolerated in this reaction. Mechanistic studies, including the use of 18O‐labeled DMSO, revealed that the ketone oxygen atom in the product originates from DMSO.
