Abstract

Propargyl alcohols have been directly synthesized by decarboxylative coupling reactions with an alkynyl carboxylic acid and an aldehyde/ketone in the absence of a transition-metal catalyst. When the decarboxylative coupling reaction was conducted with Cs2CO3 in DMSO, the desired propargyl alcohols were formed in good yield. In addition, the reactions with 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone and aryl alkynyl carboxylic acids gave trifluoromethylated propargyl alcohols.
