Copper-catalyzed aerobic synthesis of bisaryl ketones from alkynes via the cleavage of C–C triple bonds†
Abstract
A novel copper-catalyzed aerobic synthesis of bisaryl ketones from 1,2-diarylalkynes via the cleavage of C–C triple bonds is reported. This reaction is a new transformation of 1,2-diarylalkynes into bisaryl ketones.
