Abstract

With air as the oxidant, terminal alkynes can be directly cross-coupled with alkylzinc reagents in the presence of a Pd catalyst at room temperature. CO was found to be critical in gaining high chemical yields and selectivities. A wide range of alkynes and alkylzinc reagents were tested, and good to excellent yields were obtained.
