Abstract
Unsymmetrical diarylalkynes are accessible by a one-pot procedure from two different aryl halides and (trimethylsilyl)acetylene. A Pd/Cu-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of an aryl halide with (trimethylsilyl)acetylene is followed by desilylation of the formed aryl(trimethylsilyl)acetylene with aqueous potassium hydroxide and a second Sonogashira coupling with an aryl iodide.
