Abstract

Any of the isomeric normal CS acetylenes and allenes yield the same" equilibrium" mixture when treated with sodium amide in ethylene diamine at room temperature. The required equilibration time depends on the starting substrate and amounts of sodium amide. Different quantities of sodium amide produce an" equilibrium" mixture of different composition. The novel branched dialkyl acetylenes I and I1 were prepared and rearranged. There was no ...
