A convenient method mediated by photoredox catalysis is developed for the direct construction of aryl alkynes. Readily available aromatic diazonium salts have been utilized as the aryl radical source to couple alkynyl carboxylic acids to feature the decarboxylative arylation. A wide range of substrates are amenable to this protocol with broad functional group tolerance, and diversely-functionalized aryl alkynes could be synthesized under mild, neutral and transition metal-free reaction conditions using visible light irradiation. Alongside synthetic sustainability associated with the photocatalytic and transition metal-free operation, another key point of this method is that the organic dye catalyst acts as an excited-state reductant, thus establishing the quenching cycle for radical addition and decarboxylative elimination.
