Herein, we report on the solvent-free Sonogashira reaction utilizing high speed ball milling. Sonogashira coupling of a variety of para substituted aryl halides were performed with trimethylsilylacetylene or phenylacetylene. We observed that iodo and bromo substituted aromatics successfully undergo Sonogashira coupling. However, chloro and fluoro substituted aryl compounds were unreactive. Conducting the coupling reaction in the absence of copper iodide led to low yields. Alternately, if the reaction is conducted with a copper ball in a copper vial in lieu of copper iodide, the coupling product is observed in high yields. This demonstrates the first report on the use of the vial and ball material as a catalyst in a ball milled chemical reaction.
