The efficient palladium-catalyzed alkynylation of electron-rich bromoheteroarenes, incorporating deactivating electron-donating methyl and methoxy groups, and the (hetero)arylation of diynes, take place in the imidazolium ionic liquid [BMIM][BF4], as a highly polar non-volatile solvent. This method may constitute a sustainable alternative to classical solvents such as dioxane, DMF, NMP, or DMAc. New enynes are formed in the presence of a system encompassing a copper-free palladium catalyst, triphenylphosphine as ligand, and various inexpensive bases. The enyne molecules reported are selectively synthesized in high yields and are mostly unprecedented.
