2-Ynamides can be synthesised through Pd<sup>II</sup> catalysed oxidative carbonylation, utilising low catalyst loadings. A variety of alkynes and amines can be used to afford 2-ynamides in high yields, whilst overcoming the drawbacks associated with previous oxidative methods, which rely on dangerous solvents and gas mixtures. The use of [NBu<sub>4</sub> ]I allows the utilisation of the industrially recommended solvent ethyl acetate. O<sub>2</sub> can be used as the terminal oxidant, and the ca ...[more]
