title: Palladium-catalyzed hydrophenylation of alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate under mild conditions.
abstract: In an aqueous solution of acetic acid, PdCl2(PPh3)2 showed high catalytic activity for the hydrophenylation of both terminal and internal alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate (NaBPh4) under mild conditions, affording phenyl alkenes in moderate to excellent yields.
