Abstract

A variety of medium-sized cycloalkynes were efficiently synthesized by the double Nicholas reaction of cobalt complex and bis(hetero)substituted acyclic compound. The alkyne moiety within the ring has a unique bent structure and high reactivity toward cycloaddition reactions. Furthermore, preparation of multifunctionalized Alkynes was achieved by embedding the cycloalkyne within a peptide chain.

Keywords
