Abstract

Abstract: To gain an understanding of the electronic factors governing the addition of the carbon-aluminum bond (carbalumination) to unsaturated hydrocarbons, the mechanism of the addition of triphenylaluminum to the triple bond of para-substituted diphenylacetylenes was investigated. The para substituents (Z) employed were the (CH&N, CH30, CHI, CH& H, C1, CFp, and CH3S02 groups, but the acetylenes with the latter two substituents failed to ...
