Abstract

Catalytic aminomercuriation of 1-substituted prop-2-ynyl esters and ethers (5) provides a mild, simple, and regiospecific route to the terminal functionalized enamines (6) despite the fact that they are potentially isomerisable to their internal form; hydrolysis of (6) furnishes α- oxyketones (7).
