Abstract

Alkynylxenon(II) fluorides, RCC(triple bond)XeF, have been prepared from the reactions of the corresponding trimethyl(alkynyl)silanes, Me3(-)SiC(triple bond)CR, and XeF2 in the presence of [NMe4F in common organic solvents at low temperature. The existence of the linear unit C(triple bond)C-Xe-F was proved for PhC(triple bond)CXeF by the 19F-13C NMR correlation method using the HMBC pulse sequence.
