In this work, we focused on the synthesis and characterization of alkyl iodides that we reacted with terminal alkynes using a nickel catalyst. We found that the reaction to prepare alkyl iodides could be carried out with different alkyl alcohols, for example, some alkyl alcohols contained heteroatoms, alkyl alcohols that were differently branched etc. We tested the Ni-catalyzed reaction on two different alkyl iodides. The alkyl iodides were prepared using a procedure from the literature, and for the Ni-catalyzed reaction we prepared the nickel catalyst NiBOX in situ. In this way, we were able to prepare 5 alkyl iodides known from the literature as well as 1 new alkyl iodide and 1 new alkyne product.
