Description
It is a methanogenesis inhibitor. It is an electron deficient internal alkyne that has been reported to undergo codimerization with alkenes to form 1,3-dienes catalyzed by rhodium(I)/H8-BINAP complex. The annulation of thioamides with ethyl 2-butynoate catalyzed by tri-n-butylphosphine to form thiazolines has been investigated.It was used in the study of its effect on in vitro degradation and microbial biomass production. It may be used in the synthesis of the following:. 3-ethyl, 1-methyl 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-cyclopent-3-ene-1,3-dicarboxylate. tricyclic aziridine derivatives. alkenylsilanols
