Abstract

Utilizing direct mechanocatalytical conditions, the Sonogashira coupling was successfully performed on the surface of milling tools by using pure Pd and Pd coated steel balls. The optimization of co-catalyst forming additives led to a protocol, which generates quantitative yields under aerobic conditions for various substrates within as little as 90 minutes. Using state-of-the-art spectroscopic, diffractive, as well as in-situ methods lead to the identification of a previously unknown and highly reactive complex of the co-catalyst copper. This new complex differs substantially from the known complexes in liquid phase Sonogashira couplings, proving that reaction pathways in mechanochemistry may differ from those in established synthetic procedures.
