Cyclodecyne is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H16.[1][2] The molecule has a ring of 10 carbon atoms, connected by nine single bonds and one triple bond.[3]

Synthesis

[edit]

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

[edit]

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