A novel approach for the synthesis of tetra-substituted naphthalenes is demonstrated through the ligand-free coupling of a wide range of alkynes with Grignard reagents catalyzed by NiCl2, avoiding the use of special ligands and expensive catalysts used in previous methods. Other outstanding features include mild reaction conditions, good yields and wide functional group tolerance. The protocol provides an efficient method for the synthesis of highly substituted naphthalenes.

Key words: nickel-catalyzed coupling, tetra-substituted naphthalenes, Grignard reagents, diaryl acetylene
