Abstract

Abstract: The first mercury-catalyzed synthesis of 1, 2-diketones by alkyne oxidation has been developed. This inexpensive method extends the potential of mercury catalysis and allows the rapid construction of various 1, 2-diketones and α-carbonyl amides in good yields with high functional group tolerance.
