Abstract
A facile and practical synthetic route of unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes via the PdCl/CuI catalyzed oxidative coupling of two different terminal alkynes has been developed by using 3-(diphenylphosphino)propanoic acid as a ligand in the presence of oxygen. This system is suitable for not only aromatic alkynes but also heteroaromatic and aliphatic alkynes which were transformed into the corresponding unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes in moderate to good yields at room temperature. Moreover, the unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes were also obtained on a multi-gram scale. Mechanistic studies suggest that oxygen plays a key role in the catalytic cycles.
