Participants

Reaction Steps

8.32 g of 1,6-bis(4,4′-dipentylbicyclohexyl-4-yl)-1,6-dichlorohexa-2,4-diyne are dissolved in 30 ml of diethyl ether and added dropwise to a solution of sodium amide in liquid ammonia (prepared from 1 g of sodium). After 30 minutes, the excess amide is decomposed using ammonium chloride, the ammonia is evaporated, and the residue is subjected to conventional work-up, giving 1,6-bis(4,4′-dipentylbicyclohexyl-4-yl) hexa-1,3,5-triyne (C 90 N (63) I, Δε=−1.56, Δn=−0.028).
