Significance

Copper(I)-modified USY zeolite (CuI-USY) was prepared with the perspective to use it for the homocoupling of terminal alkynes 1. Thus, NH4-USY was heated at 550 ˚C to give H-USY. Then, a mixuture of H-USY and CuCl was heated at 350 ˚C under nitrogen flow to afford CuI-USY (pore size 7.4 Å). The reaction of 1 was carried out in the presence of CuI-USY at 110 ˚C under air to yield the corresponding diynes 2 (14 examples, 20-98% yield).
