Abstract

The copper(II)—mediated coupling reaction of alkenyldialkyl- or trialkyl-boranes with alkynylcopper compounds (generated in situ), in the presence of appropriate solvents and a small amount of water, gives (E)-1,3-enynes (or disubstituted alkynes) with various functional groups in reasonable yields.
