Abstract
Alkynes are attractive synthons for organic chemistry. Despite the prevalence of transition-metal-catalyzed Sonogashira reactions, a transition-metal-free version of the arylation of terminal alkynes is elusive. Herein, we report an efficient transition-metal-free Sonogashira-type coupling reaction for the one-pot arylation of alkynes to construct C(sp)-C(sp2) bonds from a tetracoordinate boron intermediate with NIS as a mediator. With its high efficiency, wide substrate range, and good functional group tolerance, this method is further supported by the gram-scale synthesis and subsequent modification of complex molecules.
