72. a raises questions about a mechanism involving a hydration of the triple bond followed by the elimination of water. As our catalytic system shows with terminal alkynes only poor to moderate conversions into the Meyer-Schuster products, we suggest under our reaction conditions a different reactivity of terminal alkynes compared to internal alkynes.
