The terminal enynes 10 – 12 were prepared from the corresponding aldehydes 6 – 8 by applying conventional methods of acetylene chemistry. After exploratory study of the reactivity of these hydrocarbons (preparation of 13 , 18 , and 19 from 10 ) these building blocks were subsequently oxidatively dimerized (Glaser coupling) to the sterically protected oligoenynes 22 – 25 ; McMurry coupling of 13 yielded 26 as a mixture of diastereomers. Whereas 22 is inert towards sodium sulfide the higher vinylogs/ethynylogs 23 – 25 furnished the novel thiophene derivatives 28 – 31 . The structures of several ( 22 – 25 , 28 , 29 ) of the new highly unsaturated compounds were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis.
