A novel copper-catalyzed decarboxylative oxyalkylation of alkynyl carboxylic acids with ketones and alkylnitriles via direct C(sp)-H bond functionalization to construct new C-C bonds and C-O double bonds was developed. This transformation is featured by wide functional group compatibility and the use of readily available reagents, thus affording a general approach to γ-diketones and γ-ketonitriles. A possible mechanism is proposed.
