A highly efficient one-pot procedure for the preparation of 1-chloroalkynes and 1-chlorobutadiynes from terminal and trialkylsilyl-protected precursors is reported. This convenient reaction, proceeding under mild conditions, utilizes N-chlorosuccinimide as the chlorinating agent and tolerates a range of functional groups.
Keywords: 1-haloalkynes; chlorine; halogenation; silanes; synthetic methods.
