Abstract
A highly efficient copper(I) iodide/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (CuI/TMEDA) catalytic system enables the coupling of various terminal alkynes, including 4-iodophenylacetylene, with acid chlorides to afford the corresponding ynones in very good yields in a short time. It is noteworthy that the reaction is conducted under solvent-free conditions at room temperature.
