Abstract

A straightforward method for the hydrophenoxylation of internal alkynes, using N-heterocyclic carbene-based copper(i) and gold(i) complexes, is described. The heterobimetallic catalytic system proceeds via dual activation of the substrates to afford the desired vinylether derivatives. This methodology is shown to be highly efficient and tolerates a wide range of substituted phenols and alkynes.
