Conversion of the numerous aryl ketones into aryl electrophiles via Ar-C(O) cleavage remains a challenging yet highly desirable transformation in Sonogashira-type coupling. Herein, we report a palladium-catalyzed ligand-promoted alkynylation of unstrained aryl ketones. The protocol allows the alkynylation to be carried out in a one-pot procedure with broad functional-group tolerance and substrate scope. The potential applications of this protocol in drug discovery and chemical biology are further demonstrated by late-stage diversification of a number of pharmaceuticals and natural products. More importantly, two different biologically important fragments derived from a pharmaceutical and natural product could be connected by the consecutive alkynylation of ketones. Distinct from aryl halides in conventional Sonogashira reactions, the protocol provides a practical tool for the 1,2-bifunctionalization of aryl ketone by merging ketone-directed ortho-C-H activation with ligand-promoted ipso-Ar-C(O) alkynylation.

Alkyne C≡C bond breaking, outside of alkyne metathesis, remains an underdeveloped area in reaction discovery. Recently, nitrogenation has been reported to allow nitrile formation from alkynes. A new protocol for the metal-free C≡C bond cleavage of terminal alkynes to produce nitriles is reported. This method provides an opportunity to synthesize a vast range of nitriles containing aryl, heteroaryl, and natural product derivatives (38 examples). In addition, the potential of tBuONO to act as a powerful nitrogenating agent for terminal aryl alkynes is demonstrated. (Figure Presented).

Regioselective addition across the alkynes has been achieved in a silver-catalyzed protocol utilizing Langlois reagent (CF3SO2Na) and molecular O2 to access medicinally active α-trifluoromethyl ketone compounds. This metho
