Abstract
An efficient and environmentally benign catalytic system has been successfully developed for highly Markovnikov selective hydration of various alkynes over heterogeneous catalyst (Hβ zeolite) in solvent-free conditions. The catalyst (Hβ zeolite) is commercial available, recyclable and exhibits excellent catalytic activity towards the hydration of alkynes to ketones. Moreover, the propargylic aryl carbinols undergo Meyer–Schuster rearrangement to give α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in excellent yields.
