摘要：

A Pd/N-heterocyclic carbene-based catalyst achieves the Sonogashira coupling of an array of functionalized, β-hydrogen-containing alkyl bromides and iodides under mild conditions. By furnishing the first example of a nonphosphine-based palladium catalyst for cross-coupling unactivated alkyl electrophiles, this study provides an impetus for future efforts at catalyst development that extend beyond phosphine ligands.
