title: Synthesis of tetrasubstituted naphthalenes by palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl iodides with internal alkynes.
abstract: The 1:2 coupling of aryl iodides with acetylenedicarboxylate esters and diphenylacetylene efficiently proceeds in the presence of a palladium catalyst with use of silver carbonate as base to produce the corresponding tetrasubstituted naphthalenes.
