Significance

The Sonogashira reaction of various aryl halides 1 with terminal alkynes 2 took place in the presence of cobalt hollow nanospheres, potassium carbonate, triphenylphosphine, and copper iodide in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to give the corresponding products 3 in up to 90% yield (15 examples). This catalyst was separated from the reaction mixture by centrifugation, and reused three times in the Sonogashira reaction of 4-iodotoluene and phenylacetylene (80-83% yield).
