Gold-Catalyzed Regioselective Dimerization of Aliphatic Terminal Alkynes.

ABSTRACT: A gold-catalyzed regioselective homodimerization of aliphatic terminal alkynes is described. Bulky and less Lewis acidic tBuXPhosAuNTf(2) is the preferred catalyst, and the additive, anhydrous NaOAc, substantially facilitates the reaction.
