Abstract
The acetylenic hydrocarbons, 1-hexyne, 2-hexyne, 3-hexyne, 2-butyne, 2,4-hexadiyne and 3,5-octadiyne have been isomerized in dimethylsuphoxide (DMSO) using the methylsulphinyl carbanion as a base-catalyst. No products containing allenic or other dienic functionalities were observed. The mechanism of the rearrangement is discussed and NMR studies of hydrogen-deuterium exchange in 2-butyne and 2,4-hexadiyne in d6-DMSO are described.
