Sonogashira cross-coupling is a powerful strategy to prepare functionalized internal alkynes. Here, the authors report a domino sequence for the generation of γ-/δ-alkynyl nitriles and γ-alkynyl ketones from the coupling of terminal alkynes with O-acyloximes derived from cycloalkanones and acylic ketones, respectively.
