“…With the same technique, a number of functionalized alkynes were prepared in moderate yields including, benzofurans via the 2-methoxyphenylalkynes and benzothiophenes via 2-methylthiophenylalkynes, 85,86 diacylalkynes, 87,88 terminal 1,3-diynes, 89 and unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes, 90 1,3-enynes, 91 pyrroloisoindolediones, 92 styrylalkynes, substituted naphthalenes, 93,94 and protected acetylenic amino acids. 95 The limit of the usefulness of the FVP technique was reached with the pyrolysis of the tetraoxo ylides and hexaoxo bis(ylides).…”
