Abstract

Applicability of the following two-step reaction sequence was examined for conversion of organolithium and-magnesium compounds into lithium acetylides having two more carbon atoms: RLi or RMgBr+ CF2= CClz-RCF= CClZ, RCF= CC12+ n-C4HgLi-RCECLi. The reaction of RLi with CFZ= CC12 was accompanied by formation of RCl as a result of the Cl- Li exchange to a widely varying extent depending on the nature of R. Between butyllithium ...
