Abstract

Abstract Gold (I) iodide catalyzed Sonogashira reactions have been developed. Terminal alkynes reacted with aryl iodides and bromides smoothly in the presence of AuI (1 mol-%) and dppf (1 mol-%) in toluene to generate the corresponding cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, aromatic terminal alkynes could also react with 2- iodoaniline to form substituted indoles in excellent yields through a coupling–cyclization ...
