Abstract

A new, palladium-free Sonogashira coupling reaction protocol using a catalytic system that comprises a simple, cheap, widely available copper salt and a chelating 1,2,3-triazolylidene ligand precursor is reported. This protocol provides the desired coupling products in moderate to very good yields.
