Abstract

In the C-arylation step, a combination of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride (3.5 mol%) (catalyst) and CuI (6 mol%) (co-catalyst) was the most desired catalytic system. It was found that in the absence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride, no disubstituted alkynes were formed. We have also explored other palladium catalysts, eg (PPh 3 ) 4 Pd, Pd(OAc) 2 along with PPh 3 , and found that yields were not appreciable. Copper(I) ...
