Abstract
An efficient ligand-, copper-, and amine-free palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira reaction of aryl iodides and bromides with terminal alkynes at room temperature has been developed. The key reagent is tetrabutylammonium acetate as the base. This method tolerates a broad range of functional groups.
