Silver-catalyzed difunctionalization of terminal alkynes: highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-beta-haloenol acetates

Org Lett. 2010 Jul 16;12(14):3262-5. doi: 10.1021/ol101251n.

Abstract

A new silver-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective difunctionalization reaction of simple terminal alkynes was reported in which the (Z)-beta-haloenol acetate derivatives were formed efficiently. The resulting products were versatile intermediates in organic synthesis.
