Abstract
Stable copper acetylides can be easily activated by oxidation with oxygen in the presence of simple nitrogen ligands such as TMEDA or imidazole derivatives. Upon activation, these nucleophilic species undergo a formal umpolung and can transfer their alkyne subunit to a wide range of heteronucleophiles under especially mild conditions providing ynamides, ynimines, and alkynylphosphonates on a multigram scale.
