Abstract

A silver-catalyzed highly efficient synthesis of a wide range of methyl ketones from terminal alkynes is described. The reactions are conducted under convenient conditions and provide products with excellent regioselectivity in moderate to excellent yields, with broad substrate scope, including a variety of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkynes.
