title: Pd-catalyzed domino synthesis of internal alkynes using triarylbismuths as multicoupling organometallic nucleophiles.
abstract: The domino coupling reaction of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes with triarylbismuth nucleophiles has been demonstrated to furnish disubstituted alkynes directly under catalytic palladium conditions. The couplings of triarylbismuths as multicoupling nucleophiles with 3 equiv of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes are very fast, affording high yields of alkynes in a short reaction time. Thus, an efficient domino process has been accomplished using 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes as surrogates for internal alkyne synthesis in couplings with triarylbismuths in a one-pot operation.
