Abstract:While traditional Sonogashira reaction requires a palladium catalyst and a copper co-catalyst, some recent variants were reported being promoted by single transition metals. Here we report a single nickel-catalyzed tandem Heck-Sonogashira annulation/alkynylation for enantioselectively constructing C(sp3)-C(sp) bond. In addition, using the same catalytic system, Sonogashira C(sp2)-C(sp) cross-coupling has also been achieved. The alkynylations described in this report are important for the three reasons: 1. C(sp… Show more
