Diphenylacetylene is the chemical compound C6H5C≡CC6H5. The molecule consists of two phenyl groups attached to a C2 unit. A colorless solid, it is used as a building block in organic synthesis and as a ligand in organometallic chemistry.
Preparation and structure
[edit]In one preparation for this compound, benzil is condensed with hydrazine to give the bis(hydrazone), which is oxidized with mercury(II) oxide.[2] Alternatively stilbene is brominated, and the resulting dibromodiphenylethane is subjected to dehydrohalogenation.[3] Yet another method involves the coupling of iodobenzene and the copper salt of phenylacetylene in the Castro-Stephens coupling. The related Sonogashira coupling involves the coupling of iodobenzene and phenylacetylene.
Diphenylacetylene is a planar molecule. The central C≡C distance is 119.8 picometers.[1]
Derivatives
[edit]Reaction of diphenylacetylene with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone results in the formation of hexaphenylbenzene in a Diels–Alder reaction.[4]
Dicobalt octacarbonyl catalyzes alkyne trimerisation of diphenylacetylene to form hexaphenylbenzene.[5]
Reaction of Ph2C2 with benzal chloride in the presence of potassium t-butoxide affords 3-tert-butoxy-1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropene, which converts to 1,2,3-triphenylcyclopropenium bromide after the elimination of tert-butoxide.[6]
