A 3D model of ethyne (acetylene), the simplest alkyne. In 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 CnH2n−2.
The azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition is a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between an azide and a terminal or internal alkyne to give a 1,2,3-triazole. Rolf Huisgen [1] was the first to understand the scope of this organic reaction. American chemist Karl Barry Sharpless has referred to copper-catalyzed version of this cycloaddition as "the cream of ...
Alkenylaluminium compounds. Reactions of alkenyl- and alkynylaluminium compounds involve the transfer of a nucleophilic alkenyl or alkynyl group attached to aluminium to an electrophilic atom. Stereospecific hydroalumination, carboalumination, and terminal alkyne metalation are useful methods for generation of the necessary alkenyl- and ...
Infobox references. 2-Pentyne, an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 C≡CCH 3 and is an internal alkyne. It is an isomer of 1-pentyne, a terminal alkyne. 1-Pentyne.
Transition metal alkyne complexes are often formed by the displacement of labile ligands by the alkyne. For example, a variety of cobalt-alkyne complexes arise by the reaction of alkynes with dicobalt octacarbonyl. [2] Co2(CO)8 + R2C2 → (R2C2)Co2(CO)6 + 2 CO. Many alkyne complexes are produced by reduction of metal halides: [3] Cp 2 TiCl 2 ...
Transition metal alkene complex. In organometallic chemistry, a transition metal alkene complex is a coordination compound containing one or more alkene ligands. The inventory is large. [1] Such compounds are intermediates in many catalytic reactions that convert alkenes to other organic products. [2]
Nitrone-olefin (3+2) cycloaddition. The nitrone-olefin (3+2) cycloaddition reaction is the combination of a nitrone with an alkene or alkyne to generate an isoxazoline or isoxazolidine via a (3+2) cycloaddition process. [1] This reaction is a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, in which the nitrone acts as the 1,3-dipole, and the alkene or alkyne as the ...
Migratory insertion. In organometallic chemistry, a migratory insertion is a type of reaction wherein two ligands on a metal complex combine. It is a subset of reactions that very closely resembles the insertion reactions, and both are differentiated by the mechanism that leads to the resulting stereochemistry of the products.
