	Herein, we disclose an efficient method for the synthesis of alpha-keto esters through a copper(ii)/iodine-mediated reaction. The transformation involves the selective cleavage of the C(sp2)-C(sp) bond of 1,2-alkynediones, which is subsequently followed by C-O bond formation with alcohols. This protocol offers a broad substrate scope, accommodating a wide range of substrates to furnish the desired alpha-keto esters in good yields.</p>
