Their combination with photocatalysis allows the synthesis of valuable alkynes at room temperature. Herein, we discuss two photomediated strategies for the synthesis of internal alkynes. The first transformation is a 1,2-oxyalkynylation of N- and O-alkenes using 4CICzIPN as a photocatalyst. The second strategy makes use of EBXs as strong photooxidants allowing the oxidation of a variety of substrates with no need for a photocatalyst.Chemistry, MultidisciplinaryChemistryalkynedeoxygenationdifunctionalizationphotochemistryphotoredox catalysisconjugate additionreagentsethynylationacetyleneshydrogenbondsacidsebxtext::journal::journal article::review article
