General description

Selective and non-selective hydrogenation of 1-pentyne catalyzed by silica-supported palladium has been studied by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Application

1-Pentyne has been used in preparation of:
  • lithium acetylides, required for asymmetric synthesis of α,α-dibranched propargyl sulfinamides
  • 7-hydroxy-10-methoxy-3H-naphtho[2.1-b]pyrans

Addition of lithium acetylides prepared from 1-pentyne, phenylacetylene, and trimethylsilylacetylene to diverse N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines affords a range of alpha,alpha-dibranched propargyl sulfinamides in generally good yields (up to 87%) and with high diastereoselectivities (up to >99:1). Acidic cleavage of the tert-butanesulfinyl

The carbene complex 5-(2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromene)methoxylmethylene chromium pentacarbonyl will undergo a benzannulation reaction with phenylacetylene, 1-pentyne, 3-hexyne, and trimethylsilylacetylene to give 7-hydroxy-10-methoxy-3H-naphtho[2.1-b]pyrans as the primary product. These compounds are difficult to obtain pure due to their sensitivity to air. If the benzannulation

The catalytically active phase of silica-supported palladium catalysts in the selective and non-selective hydrogenation of 1-pentyne was determined using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Pd K and L(3) edges. Upon exposure to alkyne, a palladium carbide-like phase rapidly

Hydrogen atom abstraction from propargyl C-H sites of alkynes plays a critical role in determining the reactivity of alkyne molecules and understanding the formation of soot precursors. This work reports a systematic theoretical study on the reaction mechanisms and rate
