One-pot transformation of alkynes into alcohols and amines with formic acid

Abstract

Alkynes are converted into alcohols and amines through a formic acid-participated alkyne-to-ketone transformation and transfer hydrogenation process. The reaction proceeds well under aqueous conditions, furnishing chiral alcohols directly from alkynes for the first time.
