Determination and Comparison of Thermodynamic Driving Forces of Elementary Steps for the Reductions of Alkynes and the Corresponding Alkenes in Acetonitrile
In this work, five substituted 1-phenyl-2-benzensulfonyl ethynes and the corresponding five substituted 1-phenyl-2-benzensulfonyl ethenes were designed and synthesized as representatives of the polar alkynes and the polar alkenes. Thermodynamic driving forces of
