One-pot synthesis of symmetric 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-diynes from iodoarenes and propiolic acid via Sonogashira reaction followed by Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative homocoupling is developed in high yields. Also, this system allows the one-pot synthesis of unsymmetric 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-diynes by cross-coupling of two different

Readily available five- and six-membered lactones and N-sulfonyllactams undergo efficient addition of t-butyl propiolate, and the resulting adducts undergo cycloisomerization to six- and seven-membered cyclic ethers or amines in the presence of pyridinium acetate. The ring expansion process occurs in
