Abstract
A Pd(OAc)2-PMe3 catalyzed 1,4-addition of terminal alkynes to acrolein has been developed with an environmentally conscious methodology on water. The reaction conditions were optimized to favor 1,4-addition over acrolein polymerization. The scope of the reaction was explored as well as its performance in acetone. A wide variety of 4-alkynals were obtained in moderate to good yields, thus showing the versatility of this reaction.
