Graphical Abstract

Aryl chlorides are suitable substrates for the Sonogashira coupling! By using the versatile catalyst system Na2[PdCl4]/PR3/CuI (PR3=(1-Ad)2PBn, PtBu3), the Sonogashira coupling [Eq. (a)] of aryl chlorides with alkynes generates excellent yields of the corresponding disubstituted aryl alkynes.
