Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>By using Mor‐DalPhos as the <italic>P</italic>, <italic>N</italic>‐bidentate ligand and mesylate as the counter ion, the resulting gold(I) complex catalyzes efficient oxidative transformations of various terminal alkynes into synthetically versatile methanesulfonyloxymethyl ketones. The mild reaction conditions and high efficiency permit the one‐pot synthesis of a range of valuable 2, 4‐disubstituted thiazoles by subjecting the resulting reaction mixture to a further condensation with thioamides under mild conditions.</p> <p> <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"> <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg58f9xq7x" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> </boxed-text> </p> </abstract>
