Alkyne metathesis

Reaction scheme of the alkyne metathesis - substituents are colored

Alkyne metathesis is an organic reaction that entails the redistribution of alkyne chemical bonds. The reaction requires metal catalysts. Mechanistic studies show that the conversion proceeds via the intermediacy of metal alkylidyne complexes.[1][2][3] The reaction is related to olefin metathesis.
