Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Substoichiometric amounts of ZnCl2 promote the room temperature, Pd/P(t-Bu)3-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl bromides with alkynes. Pd(I) dimer 1 is demonstrated to be a particularly active precatalyst for this reaction. The reaction is general for a wide variety of aryl bromides.
