Abstract

Pd (pp2)(O3SCF3) 2 (pp2= bis (2-diphenylphosphinoethyl) phenylphosphine) catalyses the transformation of non-activated terminal alkynes into acetals. The reaction proceeds fast, without the addition of heat and in quantitative yield. σ-Alkynyl-palladium complexes have been identified as intermediates.
