Abstract High-yield alkynylations are successfully achieved by a simple and widely accessible catalytic system for an unprecedented variety of heterocyclic bromides and chlorides in position -2, -3 or -5: pyridine, quinoline, thiophene, furan, thiazole, benzothiazole, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, dioxepin halides are efficiently functionalized in short time reactions. This copper-free methodology employs 1 mol % palladium only, with inexpensive PPh3 and amine base. The ionic liquid solvent allows a straigtforward separation of products and recycling opportunity. Unsuitable substrates and secondary reactions are also reported in order to point out further progress in cross-coupling usin…
