This review article will consider the preparation and application of ynones in synthetic
organic chemistry. Concerning the preparation of these bifunctional compounds, several …

The direct acyl Sonogashira cross-coupling of carboxylic acids with terminal alkynes has
been achieved through Pd/Cu cooperative catalysis. In this reaction, the readily available …

The first palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of amides has been developed, which
proceeds via a selective cleavage of the N-acylsaccharin C–N bond. Notably, the new …

The first metal‐catalyzed oxidative alkynylations of primary alcohols or aldehydes to form α,
β‐acetylenic ketones (ynones) are described. Deuterium labelling studies corroborate a …

The preparation of functionalized ketones occupies an important position in synthetic
organic chemistry because ketones are ubiquitous structural motifs in a broad range of …

The reaction of tetraalkynyltin with aldehydes was studied for the first time. The reaction was
shown to proceed as a tandem process of nucleophilic addition of tin acetylide to aldehyde …

An efficient and straightforward approach to allylaluminum reagent synthesis through Cu-
catalyzed hydroalumination of readily accessible allenes with diisobutylaluminum hydride is …

Carbohydrate‐based benzylidene acetals undergo reductive ring opening. 1‐β‐O‐Acyl
glucoside conjugates of phenylacetic acids have been synthesized, and their acyl migration …

During the last decades, indium chemistry has attracted considerable attentions from
synthetic community and has found widespread applications in organic synthesis …
