Abstract
Gold(I) alkynyl complexes are shown to efficiently couple with aryl iodides under mild conditions in the presence of both Pd(II) and Cu(I) co-catalysts. The reaction is not gold catalysed, but rather the Au(I) centre serves to transfer the alkynyl moiety to Cu(I), which then enters the conventional Sonogashira cycles. Using this method, a small range of 1,4-disubstituted diynes, including examples of differentially substituted compounds ArC≡CC≡′, have been prepared directly from [(Ph3P)AuC≡CC≡CAu(PPh3)] and aryl iodides ArI.
