Abstract
A convenient method for the two-step synthesis of arenediynes from 1, 2-arenedialdehydes is reported. Dibromomethylenation of dialdehydes under Corey–Fuchs conditions (CBr4, Ph3P, Zn) provides the tetrabromides in excellent yields. Treatment of the tetrabromides with n-BuLi or LDA affords 3, 4-unsaturated 1, 5-diynes, the key structural moiety present in several naturally occurring antitumour antibiotics, in varying yields. The key intermediates ...
