Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between a wide range of aryl iodides and lithium tetrakis(ethoxycarbonylethynyl)indates (0.35 equiv) enables an efficient synthesis of ethyl arylpropiolates. Lithium tetrakis(ethoxycarbonylethynyl)indates can be generated in situ from ethyl propiolate and n-butyllithium and a subsequent transmetallation with indium trichloride.
