An Improved Method for the Synthesis of 1-lodoalkynes

Abstract
A simple and general one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 1-iodoalkynes is described based on the reaction of terminal acetylenes with bis(pyridine)iodine(I) tetrafluoroborate in the presence of sodium methoxide. The method now reported is superior to the literature procedures in scope, handling, and often yield.
