Recent Advances in Catalytic Transformations Involving Copper Acetylides

Abstract

This review will discuss recent advances in catalytic transformations involving copper acetylides. The content is organized according to the site of functionalization: cross-couplings and direct nucleo­philicity (C1-functionalization), formal cycloadditions (C2-functionalization), and propargylic substitutions (C3-functionalization).

1 Introduction

2 Cross-Couplings

3 Direct Nucleophilicity

4 Formal Cycloadditions

5 Propargylic Substitutions

6 Conclusions and Perspectives

Key words

copper - catalysis - alkynes - enantioselectivity - alkyne complexes - asymmetric catalysis
