Silylacetylenes are useful coupling partners for aromatic halides in the Sonogashira reaction and a C‐14 labeled version of this useful synthon would allow ready access to a wide variety of arylalkynes. Ca 14 C 2 was converted to triphenylsilyl[ 14 C 2 ]acetylene using two related routes in 65% yield, and the resulting [ 14 C 2 ]acetylene was coupled with an aryl halide to give the target triphenylsilylarylacetylene (2) in 40% yield.
