A Highly efficient route for the synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted acetylene derivatives has been developed by nickel catalyzed cross-couplings of alkynyl halides with aryl titanium reagents under mild conditions. This has given corresponding cross-coupling products good to excellent isolated yields of up to 92 %. The aryls bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups in either alkynylhalides or aryltitanium substrates gave cross-coupling products good yields. This process was simple and easily performed, which provides an efficient method for the synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted acetylenes derivatives.
