Abstract

The copper-catalyzed highly regioselective reaction of aryl alkyl alkynes and arylpropargylic alcohols with diaryliodonium salts gives α-arylketones in good yields under mild conditions. Depending on the internal alkyne substrate, two different arylation-oxygenation pathways under different reaction conditions have been elaborated based on deuterated experiments, controlling experiments, and spectroscopic analysis of reaction intermediates.
