Abstract

Abstract Image

The side product from homocoupling reaction of two terminal acetylenes in the Sonogashira reaction can be reduced to about 2% using an atmosphere of hydrogen gas diluted with nitrogen or argon. Terminal arylethynes, diarylethynes, and a few new arylpyridylethynes with donor substituents have been synthesized in very good yields. Comparative control experiments suggest that the homocoupling yield is determined by concentration of both catalyst and oxygen.
