Abstract

Acetylenic compounds have been used for the synthesis of high performance polymers and for systems which exhibit nonlinear optical properties. Classical methods for the synthesis of terminal arylacetylenes in general involve manipulation of preformed, two-carbon side chains and include methods such as the Vilsmeier or the halogenation- dehydrohalogenation sequence of vinyl aromatics4 and ketone^.^,^ An innovation in the ...
