Boron-mediated sequential alkyne insertion and C–C coupling reactions affording extended π-conjugated molecules

Coupling reactions to form C–C bonds typically require transition metals. Here the authors report that an organoboron compound can allow sequential alkyne insertion and unusual oxidative deborylation/Csp2 –Csp2 coupling, enabling the transformation of acetylenes into extended π-conjugated molecules....
