A Lewis acid catalyzed direct transformation of propargyl <i>N</i>-hydroxylamines to α,β-unsaturated ketones in the presence of aqueous Zn(II)-salts has been described. This investigation also provides a novel observation for the stoichiometric role of Zn-halides over what is known to date for catalytic processes. A thorough mechanistic study has been established based on the experiment using <sup>18</sup>O-labeled water in optimized reaction conditions; the incorporation of <sup>18</sup>O in th ...[more]
