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.
Keywords: Batrachotoxin, radical mediated reaction, nBu3SnH, AIBN,
alkynyl stannanes.
Guy Bernard, MCIC, of Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled 'A Theoretical and Solid-State MNR Investigation of the Alkenyl and
Alkynyl Carbon Chemical Shift tensors for Some [n.sup.2]-Unsaturated Carbon Ligands in Metal Complexes'.
