Application

3-Methyl-1-butyne can be used as a reactant in the ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of functionalized cycloheptadienes and titanium-catalyzed [2+2+1] multicomponent pyrrole synthesis. It is also used as a precursor in the total syntheses of (+)-frondosin A, (−)-citrinadin A, (+)-citrinadin B and coraxeniolide A.
3-Methyl-1-butyne is a terminal alkyne that can be used to prepare:
  • Maleimide-fused cyclopentenones by reacting with N-substituted maleimides via Co2(CO)8-mediated Pauson−Khand reaction.
  • An alkyne carboxylic acid (Alkyne Segment C) intermediate, which is used in the total synthesis of oscillatoxin D and its analogs.
