Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed C-C cross-coupling reaction of gem-dibromoalkenes and halobenzenes provides terminal alkynes in one pot through a tandem elimination-hydrodebromination process. This convenient reaction proceeded under copper-free Sonogashira coupling reaction conditions in good to excellent yields.
