A 3D model of ethyne (), the simplest alkyneIn organic chemistry, an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon—carbon triple bond. [1] The simplest acyclic alkynes with only one triple bond and no other functional groups form a homologous series with the general chemical formula C n H 2n−2.
The Favorskii reaction is an organic chemistry reaction between an alkyne and a carbonyl group, under basic conditions. The reaction was discovered in the early 1900s by the Russian chemist Alexei Yevgrafovich Favorskii. [1] Favorskii reaction and the possible subsequent rearrangement
Typical route for alkylation of benzene with ethylene and ZSM-5 as a heterogeneous catalyst. Alkylation is a chemical reaction that entails transfer of an alkyl group. The alkyl group may be transferred as an alkyl carbocation, a free radical, a carbanion, or a carbene (or their equivalents).
The alkyne zipper reaction is an organic reaction that involves isomerization of a non terminal alkyne into a terminal alkyne. This reaction was first reported by Alexey Favorsky in 1887 (J. Russ. Phys.-Chem. Soc., 19, 414 (1887)). Also, this reaction was reported by Charles Allen Brown and Ayako Yamashita in 1975. [1] The isomerization ...
The coupling of a terminal alkyne and an aromatic ring is the pivotal reaction when talking about applications of the copper-promoted or copper-free Sonogashira reaction. The list of cases where the typical Sonogashira reaction using aryl halides has been employed is large, and choosing illustrative examples is difficult.
Grignard reagents of acetylene or alkynes can be used to perform alkynylations on compounds that are liable to polymerization reactions via enolate intermediates. However, substituting lithium for sodium or potassium acetylides accomplishes similar results, often giving this route little advantage over the conventional reaction. [1]
The reaction mechanism [5] begins with the protonation of the alcohol which leaves in an E1 reaction to form the allene from the alkyne. Attack of a water molecule on the carbocation and deprotonation is followed by tautomerization to give the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. Edens et al. have investigated the reaction mechanism. [6]
The mechanism of the Nicholas reaction. The addition of dicobalt octacarbonyl to the alkyne of propargylic ether (1) gives the dicobalt intermediate 2.Reaction with tetrafluoroboric acid or a Lewis acid gives the key dicobalt octacarbonyl-stabilized propargylic cation (3a and 3b).
