In conclusion, we have studied the Sonogashira reaction of
alkynes with trans- and cis- styrenyl bromides catalyzed by a
heterogeneous hydroxyapatite-supported Cu(I) catalyst. Sig-
nificantly, although (E)-β-bromostyrenes provided the usual
trans-1,3-enynes, the (Z)-β-bromostyrenes produced the
unsymmetric 1,3-diynes by the coupling of alkyne present
with the alkyne generated in situ by dehydrohalogenation of cis-
styrenyl bromide in basic reaction conditions. To the best of
our knowledge, we are not aware of any report addressing
Sonogashira reaction of alkyne with cis-styrenyl halides leading
to unsymmetric 1,3-diynes. The other attractive features of this
protocol are no use of toxic ligand and additive, easy recovery
of the catalyst, generality, and good yields of products.
Certainly, this methodology will find useful applications for
an easy access to a library of conjugated (E)-1,3-enynes and
unsymmetric 1,3-diynes.

General Experimental Procedure for Sonogashira Coupling
of Alkynes and β-Bromostyrenes. Representative Procedure
for the Reaction of Phenylacetylene and (E)-β-Bromostyrene
(Table 3, Entry 1). A mixture of (E)-β-bromostyrene (183 mg, 1
mmol), phenylacetylene (123 mg, 1.2 mmol), NaOH (120 mg, 3
mmol), and Cu(I)-HAP catalyst (100 mg, 3.2 mol %) in DMF (4 mL)
was heated with stirring at 120 °C under argon for 9 h (TLC). The
reaction mixture was filtered to separate the solid catalyst, which was
used for successive cycles. The filtrate was extracted with Et2O (4 × 15
mL). The extract was washed with water and brine and then dried
(Na2SO4). Evaporation of the solvent left the crude product which was
purified by column chromatography over silica gel (60−120 mesh)
(hexane/ether 95: 5) to afford pure (E)-1,4-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yne

This procedure was followed for all of the reactions listed in Table
4.
Although these procedures were described with a 1 mmol scale, 10
mmol scale reactions also provided uniform results.
All of these products listed in Tables 3 and 4 were properly
characterized. The known compounds were identified by comparison
of their spectroscopic data with those reported. The new compounds
were characterized by their IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic
data and elemental analysis data which are provided below.
