Decarbonylative Sonogashira cross-coupling of carboxylic acids by palladium catalysis is presented. The carboxylic acid is activated in situ by the formation of a mixed anhydride and further decarbonylates using the Pd(OAc)2/Xantphos system to provide an aryl-Pd intermediate, which is intercepted by alkynes to access the traditional Pd(/(II) cycle using carboxylic acids as ubiquitous and orthogonal electrophilic cross-coupling partners. The methodology efficiently constructs new C(sp2)-C(sp) bonds and can be applied to the d
