Abstract

A modification of the Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell rearrangement has been used to form unsymmetrically substituted 1, 3-butadiynes from 1, 1-dibromo-olefin precursors. The reaction proceeds via lithium–halogen exchange, followed by migration of the aryl or alkynyl moiety to provide the butadiyne framework. The facile formation of the dibromo-olefins in three steps from commercially available aryl aldehydes or carboxylic acid chlorides makes ...
