Bis(p-fluorophenylethynyl) derivatives were obtained by the reaction of bisbromoaromatic compounds with p-fluorophenylacetylene in the presence of a Pd catalyst. Subsequent oxidation of these products using an I-2-DMSO system led to new bis(p-fluorophenylglyoxalyl)ketones, alpha-diketones, and heterocyclic compounds.
