Abstract
Molecular iodine was found to be an effective redox catalyst for the oxidative cross-coupling of carbonyl compounds with terminal alkynes. In this work, we demonstrated that iodine could tune radical reactivity through reversible C-I bond formation for controlling the reaction selectivity. This iodine catalysis protocol provided an easy way for the synthesis of various furans and indolizines.
