Abstract

Abstract We present herein a new and efficient methodology for the synthesis of alkynyl chalcogenides from terminal acetylenes and diorganyl dichalcogenides, catalyzed by Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. This new approach provided the desired products in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the catalyst was easily recoverable using an external magnet and reused for further experiments without loss of catalytic activity.
