Abstract
A catalytic system composed of copper salt, potassium carbonate and appropriate poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG; liquid or solid, various molecular weight: 300< MW <3400) was developed to perform a Sonogashira arylation under microwave activation. In the presence of copper(I) iodide, various substituted diphenylacetylenes could be synthesized.

References and Notes
Copper-Catalyzed Sonogashira Reaction of 4-Iodoanisole (1g) with Phenylacetylene (2): Microwave-assisted reactions were performed with a Biotage Initiator 60 EXP® instrument. Temperature was measured with an IR sensor on the outer surface of the reaction vial. In a typical experiment, to a mixture of CuI (0.0043 g, 0.023 mmol, 0.1 equiv), finely powdered K2CO3 (0.047 g, 0.34 mmol, 1.5 equiv) and PEG3400-OH (0.25 g) were added 4-iodoanisole (1b; 0.053 g, 0.23 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and phenylacetylene (2; 0.046 g, 0.46 mmol, 2.0 equiv). The resulting mixture was heated by microwave irradiation at 220 °C (initial power 400 W) for 30 min. After cooling, the reaction mixture was solubilized in CH2Cl2 and precipitated in Et2O. Filtration and evaporation afforded 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyne (3b) in 58% yield (measured by 1H NMR using CH2Br2 as an internal standard). HPLC analysis did not detect the presence of by-products. The precipitate was reused in a similar reaction with finely powdered K2CO3 (0.047 g, 0.34 mmol, 1.5 equiv), 4-iodoanisole (0.053 g, 0.23 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and phenylacetylene (0.046 g, 0.46 mmol, 2.0 equiv) to give 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyne (3b) in 88% yield (measured by 1H NMR using CH2Br2 as internal standard). When PEG550-monomethylether was the solvent of choice, the workup was achieved by adding cyclohexane (0.5 mL) to the reactor containing the crude, and the supernatant was recovered and evaporated, affording 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyne (3g) in 44% yield (measured by 1H NMR using CH2Br2 as an internal standard). The lower phase was reused in a similar reaction with finely powdered K2CO3 (0.047 g, 0.34 mmol, 1.5 equiv), 4-iodoanisole (0.053 g, 0.23 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and phenylacetylene (0.046 g, 0.46 mmol, 2.0 equiv) to give 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylethyne (3b) in 100% yield (measured by 1H NMR using CH2Br2 as an internal standard); TLC [cyclohexane-Et2O (50:50), λ = 254 nm]: R f = 0.66; mp 58-61 °C; HPLC (λ = 214 nm): t R = 14.253 min.
