title: Iron-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective addition of acid chlorides to alkynes.
abstract: An iron-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective addition of acid chlorides to alkynes has been described. The reaction utilizes an inexpensive iron catalyst system and it is suitable for the formation of a variety of bifunctional molecules. This is an inexpensive, regio-, stereoselective and atom-economical approach to beta-chloro-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones from simple and readily available starting materials.
