title: Gold-catalyzed efficient tandem assembly of terminal alkynes and arynes: synthesis of alkynylated biphenyl derivatives.
abstract: Gold catalysts have been found to catalyze the tandem assembly of arynes and terminal alkynes efficiently in the presence of CuI under mild reaction conditions to provide useful alkynylated biphenyl derivatives.
