, (2008/06/13)
Chloroarylacetylenes such as m-chlorophenylacetylene and certain precursors to such chloroarylacetylene are prepared by reacting a chloroarylbromide with a substituted terminal acetylene compound containing at least three carbon atoms and a hydroxy group on the carbon atom adjacent to the acetylene group in the presence of a dialkyl or trialkyl amine solvent and a catalyst system consisting of a palladium complex containing two halogen moieties and two tri-substituted phosphine moieties. Additional triphenylphosphine can be added. A cuprous iodide promoter is also employed in the reaction sequence.
