Synthesis

Cyclodecyne was first synthesized and isolated in the mid-20th century as part of studies on medium-ring hydrocarbons. A common synthetic route involves the double dehydrohalogenation of 1,2-dibromocyclodecane using a strong base such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium amide (NaNH2) in a high-boiling solvent [4] :

1,2-Dibromocyclodecane + 2KOH → cyclodecyne + 2KBr + 2H2O

Alternatively, Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell rearrangement of suitable dibromovinyl precursors has been used to generate cyclodecyne under milder conditions. [5]

Physical properties

Due to its reactivity, cyclodecyne is often generated in situ and trapped in cycloaddition reactions rather than stored for long periods.
