On the catalytic duo PdCl2(PPh3)2/AuCl(PPh3) that cannot effect a Sonogashira-type reaction: a correction

In contrast to the observation made by the Laguna group, we report that the combination of PdCl2(PPh3)2 and AuCl(PPh3) makes a unique catalytic system that allows Sonogashira-type cross-coupling of both aryl and alkyl alkynes with aryl halides in excellent yields.
