“…7 This route is more sustainable than the currently used hydrolysis of alkynyl bromides and carbonylation of alkynes as well as the transformation of expensive alkynyl metals. 8,9 Silver (Ag)-based catalysts can efficiently catalyze this reaction, 10 as reported by the groups of Inoue, 11 Lu, 12,13 Gooßen, 14,15 Zhang, 16,17 He, 18 and Verpoort. 19,20 Yet, most of them are homogeneous Ag(I) complexes and salts, making it difficult for catalyst recovery and product separation.…”
