Abstract

The Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H alkynylation of acrylamide derivative is realized using a hypervalent alkynyl iodine reagent. The use of a weakly coordinating directing group proved to be of critical importance. This reaction displays broad functional group tolerance and high efficiency, which opens a new synthetic pathway to access functionalized 1,3-enyne skeletons.
