Potassium alkoxides undergo anti-Markovnikov addition to aryl-substituted alkynes with Z selectivity in DMF as the solvent. The yields and efficiency of reaction was also found be enhanced by a secondary amine ligand such N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine. Mechanistic investigations suggest that products, rates can explained via single electron transfer from alkoxide alkyne. This leads radical anion intermediate, which then rapidly combines yield vinyl whose lifetime governs E:Z observed products.
