Tn. Velikokhatko et Sa. Lermontov, OXIDATIVE TRANSFORMATIONS OF PHENYLACETYLENE IN A PH3MF2 (M = BI, SB)-CUCL SYSTEM, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(10), 1997, pp. 1791-1792
The composition of products of the reaction of phenylacetylene with Ph
3BiF2 and Ph3SbF2 in the presence of CuCl is considerably affected by
the amount of the promoter. When the molar ratio phenylacetylene CuCl
is 1 : 1, the major product is diphenylacetylene; a decrease in amount
of CuCl to 10 mol. % results in an increase in the yield of tolan to
60%.
