Cross coupling of magnesium diacetylenides with functional allylic and halide-containtng-compounds catalyzed by transition metal complexes

Conclusions An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 1,4-enynes, conjugated acetylenes and aryl acetylenes by the cross coupling of magnesium diacetylenides with allyl ethers and esters, alkyl halides, allyl halides, aryl halides, allyl sulfides, and allylsulfones, using Ni and Pd complexes as the catalyst.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 429–433, February, 1936.
