Abstract

In a decarboxylative cross-coupling of alkynyl acids in the presence of 10 mol % of CuCl without added ligand, base, and additive, various alkynyl acids reacted with H-phosphine oxides to afford E-alkenylphosphine oxides with operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and absolute stereoselectivity.
