Abstract

Various dicobalt hexacarbonyl acetylene complexes were efficiently converted to the unprotected acetylene by the reaction of two molar equivalents of sodium methylthiolate. Yields and reaction times depend upon the choice of solvent. DMF proved to be the most efficient solvent, with the reaction proceeding at >80% conversion in 5 minutes at room temperature.
