General description

4-Bromo-1-butyne is commonly used as a reactant. It serves as a source of alkyl halides for the introduction of bromo functionality into the molecule.

Application

4-Bromo-1-butyne is used as a reactant in the synthesis of:
  • Macrocycles by cobalt-mediated [2+2+2] co-cyclotrimerization.
  • 2,4,5-trisubstituted oxazoles by a gold-catalyzed formal [3+2] cycloaddition.
  • Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to synthesize 1,3,4-oxadiazoles.
  • Lactones bearing alkynes for reductive cyclization in the preparation of azulene derivatives.
  • Substituted α-pyrones by gold-catalyzed coupling reactions.
