Y. Koseki et al., Silver salt-promoted direct cross-coupling reactions of alkynylsilanes with aryl iodides: synthesis of aryl-substituted alkynylamides, TETRAHEDR L, 41(14), 2000, pp. 2377-2380
A direct cross-coupling reaction of 5-trimethylsilyl-4-pentynamides (alkyny
lsilanes) 1 with aryl iodides, promoted by silver carbonate in the presence
of palladium catalyst, afforded aryl-substituted alkynylamides 2, which re
adily underwent cyclization to form benzylidenelactams 3. This coupling rea
ction proved to be a useful for synthesis of aryl-substituted alkynes. (C)
