A fluorinated cobalt(III) porphyrin complex [Co(TPFPP)NTf·2CHOH, where TPFPP=5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin, Tf=CFSO] promotes hydroalkoxylation of alkynes to give acetals in good to excellent yields. The acetals can be directly functionalized with nucleophiles in a one-pot procedure.
