Abstract

2-Oxo-3-butynoates and 2-oxo-3-butynoamides were synthesized by a general, efficient and mild Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling of terminal alkynes and monooxalyl chloride derivatives. Readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, wide functional group tolerance, and the obviation of stoichiometric organometallic reagents combine to highlight this reaction.
