Tt. Zung et al., A NEW CATALYTIC REACTION - OXIDATIVE CARBONYLATION OF ALKYNES TO ALKYNYLCARBOXYLIC ACID-ESTERS, Mendeleev communications, (1), 1994, pp. 2-3
A new catalytic reaction - oxidative carbonylation of alkynes in the P
dCl2-CuCl system - and the reaction mechanism have been proposed based
on the unusual effects of oxygen and copper(I) salts on this process
and the key role of sigma-alkynylcopper(I) complexes in the reaction.
