Abstract
![]()
We report the strategic use of cyclohexyne
and the more elusive
intermediate, cyclopentyne, as a tool for the synthesis of new
heterocyclic compounds. Experimental and computational studies
of a 3-substituted cyclohexyne are also described. The observed
regioselectivities are explained by the distortion/interaction
model.
