General description

6-Chloro-1-hexyne is a halogenated hydrocarbon. It shows high reactivity in milling process during the synthesis of chloroalkyl-functionalized silicon nanoparticles due to the presence of triple bond.

Application

6-Chloro-1-hexyne was used in the preparation of novel bis(indolyl)maleimide pyridinophanes and disubstituted polyacetylenes bearing naphthalene pendants with varying spacer lengths. It may be used in the preparation of diethyl 6-chloro-1-hexynylphosphonate, by lithiation with n-BuLi followed by the reaction with diethyl chlorophosphate.

Novel bis(indolyl)maleimide pyridinophanes 3, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, and 11 were prepared by cobalt-mediated [2+2+2] cycloaddition of an appropriate alpha,omega-diyne with an N,N-dialkylcyanamide. These macrocyclic heterophanes were found to be potent, selective inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta. An X-ray structure
