Triarylsulfonium, alkyl- and fluoroalkyl(diaryl)sulfonium, and aryl(dialkyl)sulfonium triflates are successfully used as a new family of cross-coupling participants in the Sonogashira reaction as aryldiazonium, diaryliodonium, and tetraphenylphosphonium salts. It was found that terminal alkynes reacted mildly with triarylsulfonium or (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)diphenylsulfonium triflate at room temperature under Pd- and Cu-cocatalysis to give the corresponding arylalkynes in up to >99% yield. This protocol represents the first use of arylsulfonium salts as cross-coupling partners in the Pd/Cu-catalyzed Sonogashira reaction.
