Chemical compound

Diacetylene (also known as butadiyne), with the formula C4H2, is a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains three single bonds and two triple bonds. It is the first in the series of polyynes.

Occurrence

Diacetylene has been identified in the atmosphere of Titan and in the protoplanetary nebula CRL 618 by its characteristic vibrational modes. The molecule is most likely to have formed in Titan's atmosphere by a reaction between acetylene and the ethynyl radical C2H, which is produced when acetylene undergoes photolysis. This radical can in turn attack the triple bond in acetylene and react efficiently even at cold temperatures. Diacetylene has also been found on the Moon.

Preparation

This compound may be made by the dehydrohalogenation of 1,4-dichloro-2-butyne by potassium hydroxide at low temperature:

ClCH2C≡CCH2Cl → HC≡C-C≡CH

The bis(trimethylsilyl)-protected derivative may be prepared by the Hay coupling of (trimethylsilyl)acetylene:

2 (tms)C≡CH → (tms)C≡C-C≡CH
