AI Article Synopsis
- Alkynes are valuable in synthesis and serve as important precursors in various chemical and biological applications.
- The cleavage of the C≡C bond in alkynes is crucial for producing a range of diverse compounds.
- This review focuses on the methods transforming alkynes into carboxylic acids, esters, amides, and nitriles, highlighting both metal-catalyzed and metal-free approaches.
Article Abstract
Alkynes are building blocks of high synthetic value and their usefulness as precursors to many chemical and biological systems is widely established. Amongst several transformations of alkynes, cleavage of the C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C bond for obtaining diverse compounds is considered to be important. This review, in particular, comprehensively assimilates the transformations of alkynes to carboxylic acids including esters, amides and nitriles resulting from the cleavage of the C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C bond either under the influence of a metal catalyst or via a metal-free approach.
