Abstract

Aerobic oxidative cross-coupling reactions between alkynes and boronic acids under mild conditions catalyzed by low loadings of a copper salt are reported. 2,6-Lutidine accelerated the reactions dramatically, and the desired coupling products were obtained in high yields with high selectivities.
