Experimental
General
1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a
BRUKER DRX-400 spectrometer using indicated
deuterated solvents and TMS as an internal standard.
Mass spectra were obtained with a SHIMADZU model
GCMS-QP5000 spectrometer. TLC was performed by
using commercially prepared 100-400 mesh silica gel
plates (GF254) and visualization was effected at 254 nm.

Typical procedure
Alkyne (1 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (5 mol%), Cu(OAc)2
(10 mol%) and AcOH (2 mL) were added into a test
tube attached to an oxygen balloon (101 kPa). The sys-
tem was stirred magnetically and heated at 100 ℃ with
an oil bath for 12 h. And then the reaction was quenched
by the addition of 10 mL water. The aqueous solution
was extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL×3) and the
combined extract was dried with anhydrous MgSO4.
The solvent was vacuumed and the crude product was
isolated by TLC with light petroleum ether/CH2Cl2 as
eluent to give the pure product.
