Abstract

Abstract Exploration of α, α-dibromo-β-dicarbonyl compounds as novel organic oxidants for the mild Cu (I)-catalyzed Glaser-type homo-coupling reaction has been achieved, which provides an alternatively efficient pathway for the construction of 1, 3-conjugated structures. In addition, the mechanism of this reaction was investigated.
