Most methods employ a stoichiometric amount of organometallic reagents (such as organolithium or organomagnesium) for forming alkynylmetal reagent from alkynes or alkynyl halides in anhydrous organic solvent.
In Formula (I), [R.sup.1] and [R.sup.2] each indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbons, an alkenyl group having 1 to 20 carbons, or an alkynyl group having 1 to 20 carbons.
