GFS Organics Modern Acetylene Chemistry for ... - ThomasNet

and phenylacetylene has
become a base chemistry
platform for several on-going
projects as well as new
development projects and
alternative chemistry routes
for existing products.
Alkynes have become core
building blocks for several
other functionalized products
such as our specialty olefins,
diactylenic intermediates and
specialty heterocycles, to
name a few. We estimate that
alkyne chemistry is responsible
for approximately 15%
of all R&D work today. The
growing number of literature
references that use acetylenic
intermediates in organic
synthesis demonstrates the
impact this chemical family
continues to have on the
research community from
“Click Chemistry” ® used to
assemble complex heteroaromatics
and other heterocycles
to the construction
of chromophores.
