General description

(Triphenylsilyl)acetylene is a terminal alkyne. Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of (triphenylsilyl)acetylene to diphenylphosphinylallene is reported.

Application

(Triphenylsilyl)acetylene may be used in the synthesis of:
  • selenothioic acid S-alkyl esters
  • methyl 2-(di{ 3, 5-bis[(triphenylsilyl)ethynyl]phenyl}-phosphino)benzoate
  • 2-(di{3,5-bis[(triphenylsilyl)ethynyl]phenyl}-phosphino)benzoic acid
