Rapid microwave promoted Sonogashira coupling reactions on solid phase

J Org Chem. 2003 Aug 8;68(16):6431-4. doi: 10.1021/jo034284s.

Abstract

A microwave-enhanced, rapid, and efficient solid-phase version of the Sonogashira reaction is presented. It has been applied to the coupling of aryl iodides and bromides with various acetylene derivatives giving excellent yields in 15-25 min. The scopes of homogeneous, solventless, and solid-phase conditions for Sonogashira coupling of aryl halides are compared.
