[reaction: see text]. An In(OTf)(3)-catalyzed addition of a beta-ketoester to acetylene in the presence of molecular sieves produces a alpha-vinylated ketoester in good to excellent yield. The vinylation reaction proceeds without any loss of elements in starting molecules under solvent-free conditions and allows the use of welding-grade acetylene, providing a practical method for synthetic utilization of acetylene gas.
