Abstract

High-yield alkynylations are successfully achieved by a simple and widely accessible catalytic system for an unprecedented variety of heterocyclic bromides and chlorides in position-2,-3 or-5: pyridine, quinoline, thiophene, furan, thiazole, benzothiazole, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, dioxepin halides are efficiently functionalized in short time reactions. This copper-free methodology employs 1mol% palladium only, with inexpensive PPh3 ...
