Description and Uses

Phenylacetylene is an alkyne hydrocarbon containing a phenyl group. It exists as a colorless, viscous liquid. In research, it is sometimes used as an analog for acetylene; being a liquid, it is easier to handle than acetylene gas.
Phenylacetylene undergoes polymerization catalyzed by Rh and Pt complexes to form polyphenylacetylene.

Terminal acetylene used in the conversion of nitrones to alkynyl hydroxyl amines in the presence of trimethylaluminum..
