We report that aromatic propargylation is achievable with secondary propargylic fluorides, thus affording 1-alkyl-1-aryl-2-alkynes. In the present case, hydrogen bonding is responsible for the activation of the C–F bond. A large excess of arene nucleophile is shown to be necessary to achieve good yields.
