Fig. 2: Substrate scope study.

aCuBr (15 mol%) and L5 (18 mol%) were used. bDue to the difficulty of separating the two regioisomers, the yield value refers to the isolated yield of a mixture of alkyne and allene; the regioselectivity was determined by 1H NMR analysis. cThe reaction was conducted in 10 mL CH3CN.
