An efficient method to access β‐alkynyl ketones from propargylic alcohols and enamides under copper catalysis was developed. This methodology allows access to a series of highly functionalized β‐alkynyl ketones in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. Moreover, the resultant products could further be transformed to various valuable scaffolds with potential biological activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
