Alkynes-6
If 1– alkynes reacts with Cu2Cl2, NH4Cl and air, oxidative coupling takes place and dimerised product alkadynes are formed. Remember dimerisation is the only process where double bonds are intact, while in tetramerisation ethyne form boat shape molecule cyclooctatetraene which is nonaromatic in nature.
