Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Diarylacetylenes from Arylaldehydes via Addition-Double Elimination Process
A practical one-pot protocol has been developed to synthesize diarylacetylenes from arylaldehydes by treatment with 1-(arylmethyl)benzotriazoles and LiN(SiMe3)2. The reaction proceeded smoothly through imine formation, Mannich-type addition and double elimination...
