AI Article Synopsis

  • Alkynylzinc reagents can react with aryl and alkenyl iodides to produce arylalkynes and alkenylalkynes without needing transition metals.
  • The reaction involves a unique method called single electron transfer.
  • A small amount of phosphine is crucial as an activator to facilitate this coupling reaction.

Article Abstract

Alkynylzinc reagents were found to undergo coupling with aryl and alkenyl iodides to give arylalkynes and alkenylalkynes without the aid of transition metals. The coupling reaction proceeds through a single electron transfer mechanism, where a substoichiometric amount of a phosphine works as an indispensable activator.
