“…Recently, much effort has been devoted to the employment of copper complexes as catalysts for the Sonogashira coupling of aryl halides with terminal alkynes, because copper salts are relatively economical and the system is mild and simple. In recent years numerous copper‐based catalytic systems have been reported, including, Cu(I)/diamine, the salt of [ N ‐benzyl DABCO] + [Cu 4 Cl 5 ] − , choline chloride/CuCl, monobenzylnicotinium chloride combined with copper(I) chloride, Cu 2 O/tetraethylammonium prolinate, CuCl/Phen/Cs 2 CO 3 , CuI/1,10‐phenanthroline and CuI/2,2‐bipyridine, Cu 2 Se nanoflakes and DABCO‐functionalized silica‐supported copper(I) complex . Hence, the development of a novel catalytic system that is efficient, readily available, inexpensive, eco‐friendly and operative under mild conditions would be useful in contemporary synthesis.…”
