An ynamide-mediated one-pot, two-step intermolecular esterification via the condensation of carboxylic acids with nucleophilic hydroxyl species was reported. A broad substrate scope with respect to carboxylic acids, alcohols, and phenols was observed. The α-acyloxyenamide intermediates formed by the addition of carboxylic acids to ynamides proved to be effective acylating reagents for the esterification of alcohol and phenol derivatives with the assistance of base catalysis. Notably, the racemization of the α-chiral center of carboxylic acids can be avoided.

Benzyl esters of propiolic and β-keto acids undergo catalytic decarboxylative coupling when treated with appropriate palladium catalysts. Such decarboxylative couplings allow the benzylation of alkynes without the use of strong bases and/or organometallics. This allows the synthesis of sensitive benzylic alkynes that are prone to undergo isomerizations under basic conditions. Additionally, decarboxylation facilitates the site-specific benzylation of diketones and ketoesters under mild, base-free conditions. Ultimately, the methodology described expands our ability to cross-couple medicinally relevant heterocycles.
