Abstract

There has been significantly growing interest in recent years in the transition-metal- catalyzed metathesis of alkenes and alkynes.[1] The synthetic potential of alkyne metathesis, however, is much less explored though they have shown enormous potential in the preparation arylene ethynylene polymers,[2] macrocycles,[3] and in natural product synthesis.[1c, 4] Typically, the metal alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis contain a ...
