Cross-coupling reactivity of 1,1-dichloroalkenes under palladium catalysis: domino synthesis of diarylalkynes

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of diarylalkynes was achieved from the domino cross-coupling reaction of 1,1-dichloroalkenes with triarylbismuth reagents under palladium-catalyzed conditions. Under the established palladium protocol, 1,1-dichloroalkenes demonstrated hitherto unknown remarkable cross-coupling reactivity with organometallic triarylbismuth reagents to furnish functionalized diarylalkynes.
