Abstract

An easy copper-, ligand and amine-free Sonogashira coupling reaction catalyzed by commercially available palladium on carbon with air at low catalyst loading (0.2 mol% Pd) has been developed. Aryl iodides coupled with aromatic alkynes gave good to excellent yields and with aliphatic alkyne gave moderate to good yields. The reaction system is easy to handle.

Key words

Sonogashira coupling - palladium - catalysis - heterogeneous
