Abstract

[reaction: see text] The sequential three-component coupling of aryl iodides, diarylacetylenes, and monosubstituted alkenes effectively proceeds in the presence of Pd(OAc)(2), LiCl, and NaHCO(3) as catalyst, promoter, and base, respectively, in DMF-H(2)O to produce the corresponding 1,3-butadiene derivatives.
