A number of routes have been suggested for the prebiotic synthesis of uracil involving the reaction of urea with malic acid, propiolic acid, cyanoacetylene and others. Cyanoacetylene has been detected in the interstellar medium as well as simulated prebiotic experiments.

Molecular diversity, 10(2), 265-270 (2006-06-17)
Protonation of the reactive intermediates produced in the reaction between alkyl(aryl) isocyanides and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates by indan-1,3-dione leads to vinylnitrilium cations, which undergo carbon centered Michael type addition with the conjugate base of the CH-acid to produce functionalized 5-oxo-4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]pyrans.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 17(1), 1074-1102 (2012-01-24)
A collection of smart multicomponent reactions (MCRs) with continuative post condensation cyclizations (PCCs) is presented to construct conventional three- to seven-membered heterocyclic compounds in diversity oriented syntheses (DOS). These will provide a high degree of applying economical and ecological advantages

European journal of biochemistry, 270(7), 1393-1398 (2003-03-26)
Only 2% of the known natural products with acetylenic bonds are alpha-alkynoates. Their polarized, conjugated triple bond is an optimal target for an enzymic hydration. Therefore they are good substrates for the enzymes involved in metabolism of acetylenic compounds, resulting

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 21(24), 7273-7276 (2011-11-09)
Efficient and rapid synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been achieved via Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkyl/arylazides and diethyl/dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The environmentally friendly solvent-free protocol overcomes the limitations associated with the prevailing time-consuming solution phase
