1,9-Decadiyne, 97%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

One-step synthesis of carbametacyclophane 3 from 1,9-decadiyne and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate is described. The use of 1,9-decadiyne as a nucleophile led only to the monoalkynylation product, a selectivity that would be difficult to achieve with a catalytic in situ metalation process. 1,9-decadiyne reacts with iodobenzene (excess) to afford the bis-Sonogashira coupling product in excellent yield. 1,9-Decadiyne was dihydrated and gave 2,9-decanedione in 92% yield.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
