Aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling between terminal alkynes and hydrosilanes occurred in the presence of nanoporous gold catalyst under O atmosphere. A variety of alkynylsilanes were synthesized in good-to-high yields and the catalyst was easily recovered and reused many times. Furthermore, the chemoselective direct silyl protection of terminal acetylenes of alkynols over the hydroxyl groups was achieved with this catalytic system.
