The synthesis of terminal enynes by Grignard additions to pyridazine 1-oxide
Abstract
The ring opening of pyridazine 1 -oxide by the Grignard reagents prepared from 3-bromochlorobenzene, bromobenzene, 1 -bromonaphthalene, pent-1 -yne, and 1 -phenylbut-1 -en-3-yne is shown to lead exclusively to the corresponding terminal E-enynes (3a), (3b), (5), (6), and (7) respectively. By contrast, alkyl Grignard reagents instead lead to the corresponding 1, 3-dienes (9).
