Palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis was applied to carbonylative coupling of aryl diazonium tetrafluoroborates and terminal acetylenes to generate aryl alkynyl ketones. The dihydroimidazolium bis-2,6-diisopropylphenyl carbene precursor H2IP•HCl was used together with Pd(OAc)2, triethylamine, and carbon monoxide in THF. Various aryl diazonium ions and acetylenes coupled under these conditions giving ketone products in good to excellent yields. The substrates, and products, together with details of the reaction conditions investigated will be presented.
