Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of 3, 4-ene-1, 5-diynes, the key structural moiety present in several naturally occurring antitumor antibiotics, from 1, 2-enedialdehydes under two different experimental conditions is reported. One method involves the dibromomethylenation of dialdehydes under Corey–Fuchs conditions (CBr 4, Ph 3 P, and Zn) and treatment of the resulting tetrabromides with nBuLi or LDA to afford enediynes. The second method ...
