(matrix presented) A strictly "pair"-selective synthesis of conjugated diynes via Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of 1,3-diynylzincs is described. This method, like the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz reaction, requires three steps for the synthesis of R1C≡CC≡CR2 from R1C≡CH, R2X, and HC≡CH. However, the high "pair"-selectivity permitting high-yield production of the desired conjugated diynes without separation of symmetrical diynes promises to make the present protocol superior to the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz reaction in many cases.
