The previously unknown γ-hydroxy esters bearing both propargylic and allylic alcohol moieties were obtained from β-formylated enoates terminal alkynes. Their easy base-catalyzed isomerization into γ-keto occurred chemoselectively under metal-free conditions. In contrast to the classical two-step synthesis of carbonyl compounds alcohols involving an oxidation-reduction sequence, this protocol provides functionalized ynones in a single step readily available starting materials. Density functional theory calculations performed elucidate plausible mechanism for cascade transformations.
