Abstract

A convenient Cadiot-Chodkiewicz protocol for the use of low molecular weight alkyne coupling partners entails an in situ elimination from a dibromoolefin precursor and immediate subjection to copper-catalyzed conditions. The method circumvents the hazards of volatile brominated alkynes. The internal 1,3-diyne products are evaluated in ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions.
