“…Among these reactions the synthesis of 1-trimethylsiloxy-3-aryl-2-propynes realised by the addition of 1-phenyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)acetylene or other terminal silylacetylenes to carbonyl compounds in the Bu 4 NF/THF [3,4], KF/18-crown-6/CH 2 CI 2 or THF [5], KF/DMF [6], Ph 4 P + HF 2 /DMF [7], Bu 4 N + HF 2~ [8] systems was described. Recently we have reported CsF/18-crown-6 mediated reactions of trimethylsilylacetylene with carbonyl compounds and/or terminal aryl and hetaryl acetylenes [10], To investigate the influence on their reactivity of the 14 group element present in the disubstituted acetylenes Me 3 SiC^CMMe 3 (M = C, Si, Ge, Sn) the cesium fluoride mediated reactions with aryl aldehydes ArCHO and ketones ArC(0)Me (Ar = phenyl, 2-pyridyl, 2-furyl, 2thienyl, 2-methyl-5-thienyl, 2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl) have been carried out.
