Abstract:
Two unusual complexes of formula [M(mu-OH)(mu-O(2)CCH(3))(2)](n) [M = In (1) or Ga (2)] were crystallized by diffusion of ethyl acetate into methanolic solutions of the M(NO(3))(3) salts and N-nitrosopyrrolidine. They represent the first examples of such simple group 13 containing structures comprising 1D chains, and their formation results from the surprising hydrolysis of ethyl acetate to provide the bridging acetate ligands.

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
