An efficient method for the synthesis of 1,4-ketoaldehydes via the cross-coupling of N-alkenoxyheteroarenium salts and primary aldehydes is developed. This method provides a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility. The utility of this method is demonstrated via the diverse transformations of heterocyclic compounds and cycloheptanone, as well as the late-stage functionalization of biorelevant molecules.
