Popis: A general and selective method is developed that allows difunctionalization of terminal alkynes by a Cu(iii)-CF3 complex and a carboxylic acid regioselectively and with unusual syn-stereochemistry. This method is broadly applicable to various carboxylic acids and terminal alkynes, producing a range of biologically active trifluoromethyl enol carboxylic esters. The synthetic potential of this method is further demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of a complex pharmaceutical compound dehydrocholic acid.
