An alternative and
complementary transformation for the synthesis
of aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted alkynes is presented that relies
on a chemoselective electrocoupling process. Tetraorganoborate substrates
were logically designed and simply accessed by transmetalations using
readily or commercially available organotrifluoroborate salts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
