Abstract
The decarboxylative coupling of alkynyl carboxylic acids is an attractive area of research in organic chemistry, because the structure of aryl alkyne is one of the important building blocks for the synthesis of p-conjugated compounds. The use of alkynyl carboxylic acid as an alkyne source has several advantages in handling and storage. As a catalyst, palladium, copper, nickel, and silver were employed in the decarboxylative coupling reactions. The formation of C–C (sp2–sp, sp–sp and sp3–sp), C–N, C–P and C–S bonds has been developed. This review aims to illustrate the development of the decarboxylative coupling reaction of alkynyl carboxylic acids.
