Halogen‐free CC coupling : Catalytic amounts of [Pd 2 (dba) 3 ] (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) and a sterically encumbered phosphite ( L1 ) promote the addition of CH bonds of terminal alkynes ( 2 ) to alkylidenecyclopropanes ( 1 ). The reaction gives rise to 1,4‐enynes ( 3 ) in good yields. The catalytic cycle probably consists of a Pd‐catalyzed CH activation of the terminal alkyne, a regioselective hydropalladation followed by distal bond cleavage of the alkylidenecyclopropane, and a final reductive elimination.
