Synthesis and Chemical Behavior of Perchlorophenylacetylene
Perchlorophenylacetylene (6) is synthesized in three steps: (1) vicinal reductive dechlorination of perchlorostyrene (1) to (pentachlorophenyl)acetylene (2), (2) conversion of 2 into its silver acetylide (7), and (3) chlorination of 7 to 6.Some thermal an
