Gold(I)-catalyzed addition of carboxylic acids to alkynes.
Au(I)-catalyzed hydroacyloxylation of alkynes with carboxylic acids is described. PPh3AuCl/AgPF6 catalyst affords the Markonikov addition products, whereas PPh3AuCl/AgOTf catalyst gives the more stable isomerized products via the Markonikov products.
