Abstract

The room-temperature nucleophilic addition of vinyl azides to propargylic alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of BF3·Et2O provides 4-ynamides. The procedure is operationally convenient, shows broad substrate scope, and tolerates many functional groups. Further, a Vilsmeier intramolecular cyclization of 4-ynamides gives dihydrofuran-2(3H)-ones with the alkyne group as the nucleophile.
