Abstract:
Bulky trialkylsilyl-protected alkynes such as triethylsilyl (TES), tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS), and triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) acetylenes underwent the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz cross-coupling reaction with different bromoalkynes to form a variety of synthetically useful unsymmetrical diynes in good yields. The diyne alcohol 10 was transformed regio- and stereoselectively into enynes by hydrotelluration, carbometalation, and reduction reactions.
