title: Metal-free synthesis of ynones from acyl chlorides and potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate salts.
abstract: A straightforward method for the preparation of ynones from acyl chlorides and potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate salts has been developed. The one-pot reaction proceeds rapidly in the presence of a Lewis acid without exclusion of air and moisture.
