Direct synthesis of alkynes from inexpensive, abundant alcohols was achieved in high yields (greater than 40 examples, up to 95% yield) through a SO2F2-promoted dehydration and dehydrogenation process. This straightforward transformation of sp3-sp3 (C-C) bonds to sp-sp (C=C) bonds requires only inexpensive and readily available reagents (no transition metals) under mild conditions. The crude alkynes are sufficiently free of impurities to permit direct use in further transformations, as illustrated by regioselective Huisgen alkyne-azide cycloaddition reactions with PhN3 to give 1,4-substituted 1,2,3-traiazoles (16 examples, up to 92% yield) and Sonogashira couplings (10 examples, up to 77% yield).
Intermediate for Gossyplure, the sex pheromone of the pink bollworm

The sex pheromone of the pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) is an approximate 1:1 mixture of (Z,Z)- and (Z,E)-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetate; this sex pheromone, the above-identified mixture of isomers, is known as Gossyplure. A component of Gossyplure, (Z,E)-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetate, is the sex pheromone of the Angoumois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella) and is known as Angoulure. An isomeric component of Gossyplure, the Z,Z isomer, elicits no response from the male Angoumois grain moth and it appears that the relatively large amount of the Z,Z isomer in Gossyplure interferes with the Z,E isomer such that Gossyplure cannot be used as a substitute for Angoulure. The isomeric components of Gossyplure are manufactured by the butylation of the mono-anion of 1,5-hexadiyne to 1,5-decadiyne which is in turn alkylated with hexamethylene halohydrin or a protective derivative thereof, such as tetrahydropyranyl ether, to give the 7,11-hexadecadiynyl moiety which after acetylation and partial reduction affords (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetate, one of the isomeric components of Gossyplure. The other isomeric component of Gossyplure, the Z,E isomer, which is also known as Angoulure, the sex pheromone of the Angoumois grain moth, is synthesized from deca-(E)-5-enyne, (prepared by sodium-liquid ammonia reduction of 1,5-decadiyne) in an analogous manner.
