United we stand! Cooperative activation of the hypervalent-iodine reagent TIPS-EBX with a gold catalyst and a Brønsted acid allowed the first direct ethynylation of thiophenes at room temperature (see scheme; TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The obtained ethynylthiophenes are important building blocks for organic dyes and electronic materials.
