Abstract
Stable bis(gold(I) alkynyl) complexes of tetraethynylethene (TEE) derivatives were readily prepared and employed in Sonogashira-like palladium-catalyzed phosphine-gold(I) halide elimination reactions with aryl iodides and redox-active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) mono- and bisiodides. This presents a particularly convenient method for the preparation of symmetrical and asymmetrical tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-fused radiaannulenes in good yields.
