title: Copper-catalyzed synthesis of 1,3-enynes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] We report a copper(I)-catalyzed procedure for the synthesis of 1,3-enynes. This method affords a variety of enynes in good to excellent yields. This method can tolerate a variety of functional groups, does not require the use of expensive additives, and is palladium-free.
