Abstract：
Alkyne compounds are a class of inexpensive, readily available and widely used synthetic units that can participate in many chemical transformations. The most common ones are the C-H bond functionalization of the terminal alkyne, the addition of a π bond to the alkyne, and two additions of two π. The reaction of two π-bond differential transformations is relatively rare, and the earliest developed reaction is the hydration reaction of alkynes. This conversion promotes the development of differential hydrogen functionalization of other alkyne π bonds. However, to date, related transformations have been reported little, and existing reactions have generally been involved in intramolecular processes or the use of alkyne activated by electron withdrawing groups.
