Alkynes are extremely versatile unsaturated hydrocarbons, 1 which are ubiquitously found in functional materials, 2 supramolecules, 3 and natural products. 4 Further, they are also useful synthetic intermediates from which a wide variety of saturated and unsaturated compounds can be obtained via addition reactions across their CC triple bonds. 5 In particular, recent advances in the transition-metal-catalyzed transformations of alkynes have provided rapid and concise access to complex molecular architectures. 6 Therefore, the development of a new preparative method of substituted alkynes promises to greatly expand the utility of the synthetic methodologies based on their transformations. Csp3-substituted alkynes have conventionally been synthesized through the deprotonation of terminal alkyne precursors and subsequent reactions of the resultant metal acetylides with electrophiles such as alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds. 7 Since the acidity of acetylenic protons is higher than those of alkanes and alkenes (pKa values of acetylene, ethylene, and ethane relative to water are 25, 44, and 50, respectively), 8 the deprotonation of terminal alkynes has been routinely performed using alkyllithiums or Grignard reagents in dry aprotic solvents under an inert gas atmosphere or alternatively with alkali metal amides in liquid ammonia. Because of their air and moisture sensitivities, acetylides formed in situ are directly used for further reactions without isolation. In contrast, silver acetylides can be readily prepared from terminal alkynes with ammoniacal silver salts, and they are isolable as precipitates. 9 The isolated silver acetylides, however, have been employed in a rather limited number of synthetically useful CC bond formations. 9d These involve the substitution reactions on acyl halides, 9a, 10 aryldiazonium salts, 11 iminochlorides, 12 ribofuranosyl halides, 13 and alkyl halides14 or additions to iminium15 and pyridinium16 salts, aldehydes, 17 and CO2. 18 While the stoichiometric use of metal acetylides has been well established, a process that enables their catalytic generation and simultaneous transformation is ideal in terms of atom and step economies. 19, 20 In addition, such a catalytic process has a significant merit according to which the direct handling of potentially explosive silver acetylides can be avoided. 9a This review surveys the silver-catalyzed processes in which acetylenic Csp-H as well as Csp-Si bond transformations occur under the influence of silver mediators. To show the synthetic utility of silver-catalyzed Csp-H and Csp-Si bond functionalizations, relevant transformations of the resulting products are also outlined.
