An Ullmann ether reaction involving an alkynyl substrate: A convergent route to a combretastatin intermediate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508015470

We found that we could employ a disubstituted alkynyl halide in an Ullmann ether reaction to produce the cis-alkene intermediate 3 of the combretastatin natural products.
