I have no idea, looks slightly cursed. Can you even have unsaturations and oxide groups on the same molecule? Isnt this prone to rearrangement? Do you have any context? Just doesn’t look right to me, but Ive been wrong before.

I think it was used as a Grignard reagent to add the alkyne groups to a larger molecule. (I might have got the structure wrong idk)

I can see maybe 2 of the alkyne groups being present if you start with an aldehyde, but im finding it somewhat hard to see how one would be reliably able to synthesize this using Grignard due to the sheer bulk. Would the pic be a product rather than a reactant?

Triethynyl methoxide It isn't used for much. Dr. Tykwinski has used a handful of derivatives as an attempt to synthesize graphynes. See: https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201604404

Wow thanks

Oxygen.

Triacetylmethoxide? Edit: or 1,1-diethynyl-2-propyn-1-oxide (or something like that)


PassiveChemistry

Well, there's no acetyl groups there, but the second one works


chemistrybonanza

You're right, I meant triacteylene methoxide


PassiveChemistry

seems fair

Wouldn’t this thing blow up something??
