Y. Nishihara et al., Reaction of alkynylsilanes with CuCl in polar solvents leading to alkynyl group transfer from Si to Cu, J ORGMET CH, 620(1-2), 2001, pp. 282-286
The reaction of 1-phenyl-2-trimethylsilylethyne with CuCl at 80-100 degrees
C in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or N,N-dimethylimidazolidinone (DMI) yield
ed the alkynylcopper species[Cu2Cl(C drop CPh)(n)] (1) in 56-63% yields. He
ating 1 at 80 degreesC under aerobic conditions gave 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butad
iyne in 82% yield via an oxidative coupling of the phenylethynyl ligands. (
