Alkynes can be used to synthesize a wide variety of organic compounds through various chemical reactions. These include cyclopropanation, formation of allenes and enynes, oligomerization of 1,3-butadienes, hydroamination of amines, formation of allylic aldehydes and carboxylic acids, synthesis of 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted diketones and 1,3,5-triketones, hexaynethylbenzenes, [4]-radialenes, conjugated carbocycles such as 2-substituted cycloheptadienes and 2-cyclopentenones, 9-alkylidene-9H-
