Abstract

This work describes the iodine-catalyzed N-methyl morpholine-promoted hydration of alkynes via Markovnikov type addition. The developed protocol provides a direct approach to synthesize methyl ketones under metal-free condition. A series of aromatic alkynes embedded with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups were well-investigated to give the corresponding products in good to high yields.
