Abstract

The hydration of alkynes was reported for the first time in 1860 [1] and is widely applied in industrially important processes. However, the methods currently used for this hydration still suffer from substantial shortcomings.[2] The process, which relies on interactions between acetylenes and Lewis or Brønsted acids, requires high temperatures [3] and often leads to low yields and unwanted polymers.[4–6] A dramatic improvement of yields was achieved ...
