Abstract

The reaction of alkynylzinc bromides with benzyl bromides or chlorides in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd (DPEphos) Cl2 in THF at 23° C cleanly produces the corresponding benzylated alkynes in 73–97% yields. With 10− 3mol% of Pd (DPEphos) Cl2, the maximum turnover number of 7.1× 104 has been observed for the formation of PhCCCH2Ph.
