Abstract

Diyne compounds are of paramount importance as versatile building blocks, 1 among which 1,3-diynes have been prominently utilized as equivalents to various functional groups in organic synthesis 2 as well as valuable intermediates for natural products 3 and pharmaceuticals, particularly antifungal agents. 4 Especially noteworthy is that 1,3-dynes have been recently recognized as a core functional group in organic molecular materials such as molecular wires and ...
