A Suzuki-type cross-coupling reaction of arylacetylene halides with arylboronic acids

• A PdCl(2)-catalyzed direct alkynylation of arylboronic acids to give diarylacetylenes is described. The optimal conditions using PdCl(2) as catalyst, MeOH-PhMe-H(2)O as solvent and K(2)CO(3) as base effectively suppressed the formation of homo-coupling product and afforded moderate to good yield of the desired unsymmetrical coupling product. This reaction represents a Suzuki-type sp(2)(C-B)-sp(C-X) cross-coupling.
