title: Rhodium-catalyzed (E)-selective cross-dimerization of terminal alkynes.
abstract: Cross-dimerization of various terminal alkynes with different bulky terminal alkynes such as triisopropylsilylacetylene and 1-trimethylsilyloxy-1,1-diphenyl-2-propyne efficiently proceeds in the presence of a rhodium catalyst system to produce the corresponding (E)-enynes with high regio- and stereoselectivity.
