Abstract

Abstract : An iron-catalysed photoredox alkynylation of methane, ethane, and other light alkanes is developed as a concise and efficient approach to valuable internal alkyne synthesis. Abstract : Here we show a practical iron-catalysed photoredox approach for C(sp 3 )–H alkynylation of methane, ethane, and other light alkanes without pre-functionalisation processes, producing valuable internal alkynes. The protocol has many advantages, including a concise and efficient system, good selectivity, mild conditions, wide application of the synthesised products, and low cost.
