title: Transition-metal-free homocoupling of 1-haloalkynes: a facile synthesis of symmetrical 1,3-diynes.
abstract: Symmetrical 1,3-diyne compounds can be easily synthesized via a transition-metal-free homocoupling reaction of 1-haloalkynes without base and oxidant. The method shows excellent functional group compatibility and high yields.
