Abstract:
The salt metathesis reaction involving a diamine-based antimony chloride precursor with sodium arsaethynolate in the presence of PMe3 leads to the formation of stibanyl-functionalized PMe3-arsinidene (2). Detailed analyses through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory of 2 confirm the presence of covalent Sb-As bonds and reveal its polarized nature with a multiple-bond character. In contrast to the formation of complex 2, substituting PMe3 with xylyl isocyanide or 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene (IiPr) produces an isocyanide-arsinidene adduct (3) and an IiPr-arsaketene complex (4), respectively. Furthermore, the related reactions of precursor 1 with sodium phosphaethynolate yield both a stibanyl-phosphaketene (5) and a stibanyl-functionalized IiPr-phosphaketene adduct (6).

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.
Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.
