General description

Ethyl 2-butynoate, a 2-alkynoate is a methanogenesis inhibitor. It is an electron deficient internal alkyne that has been reported to undergo codimerization with alkenes to form 1,3-dienes catalyzed by rhodium(I)/H8-BINAP complex. The annulation of thioamides with ethyl 2-butynoate catalyzed by tri-n-butylphosphine to form thiazolines has been investigated.

Application

Ethyl 2-butynoate was used in the study of its effect on in vitro degradation and microbial biomass production.
It may be used in the synthesis of the following:
  • 3-ethyl, 1-methyl 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-cyclopent-3-ene-1,3-dicarboxylate
  • tricyclic aziridine derivatives
  • alkenylsilanols

A cationic rhodium(I)/H(8)-BINAP complex catalyzes codimerization of alkenes bearing no alpha-hydrogen and electron-deficient internal alkynes, leading to 1,3-dienes in good yields with moderate to excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. The same complex also catalyzes codimerization of an acrylate and phenyl-substituted electron-rich
