Abstract

The addition of an alkynyl cyclopropyl mechanistic probe to a digermyne did not lead to any ring-opened rearrangement products indicating that the reaction pathway does not involve any vinylic radicals or cations and providing experimental insight into the addition of alkynes to digermynes.
