Abstract

Alkynes are a recurring functional group in a wide range of natural products and other bioactive compounds, as well as versatile intermediates in synthesis. 1 Since its introduction in 1975, the Sonogashira reaction is one of the most straightforward methods for the preparation of aforementioned compounds. 2 Although an impressive variety of modifications have been reported for this reaction, 3 some drawbacks still remained. For example, alkynes substituted with electron- ...
