title: Copper-catalyzed alkyne-aryne and alkyne-alkene-aryne coupling reactions.
abstract: The efficient copper-catalyzed two-component coupling reaction of alkynes with arynes and the three-component coupling reaction of alkynes with allylic chlorides and arynes have been developed. Copper acetylide was postulated as a transient intermediate for the initiation of the coupling reactions.
