Cobalt(II) bromide catalyzes arylzincation of alkynes with arylzinc iodide x lithium chloride complexes in acetonitrile. The scope of the arylzincation is wide enough to use unfunctionalized alkynes, such as 6-dodecyne, as well as arylacetylenes. The inherent functional group compatibility of

The intermolecular cyclotrimerisation of terminal and internal alkynes can be catalysed by simple cobalt complexes such as a CoBr2(diimine) under mild reaction conditions when treated with zinc and zinc iodide with high regioselectivity in excellent yields.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 125(13), 3867-3870 (2003-03-27)
A new chemical method for the preparation of arylzinc intermediates is described in acetonitrile, on the basis of the activation of aryl bromides by low-valent cobalt species arising from the reduction of cobalt halide by zinc dust. This procedure allows
