Abstract

The formation of a precipitate in the presence of alcoholic or ammoniacal silver nitrate has long been used as a diagnostic test and a method of analysis2 for compounds containing a terminal acetylenic group. The use of this reaction as a synthetic tool has been very limited, although utilized in the preparation of 1-halo derivatives3 Silver acetylides also have been employed catalytically in the preparation of acetylenic alcohols4 and glycols. 5 In 1899, ...
