Abstract

Abstract: The reactions of trifluoroacetic acid with unsubstituted hexynes and with 5- substituted 1-pentynes having chloro, methoxy, acetoxy, trifluoroacetoxy, and cyano substituents occurred readily at rates comparable to those previously determined for the corresponding alkenes. One mole of trifluoroacetic acid added nonstereospecifically to 3- hexyne) presumably via a vinyl cation intermediate, to give cis-and trans-3-hexen-3-yl ...
