Environmentally Friendly Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed C-H Bond Hydroarylation of Alkynes

Abstract

A facile synthetic method of Alkenylarene derivatives via cobalt(III)-catalyzed C-H hydroarylation with terminal alkynes has been presented. This helpful protocol provides a way to use terminal alkynes to couple with aryl groups through 1, 2-insertion, with high yield and good selectivity to obtain the corresponding hydroarylation products.
