Tetraethynylmethane (1) was synthesized in 10 steps and 33% overall yield from bis [(trimethysilyl) ethynyl] ketone. This route features (1) construction of the critical central quaternarycenter via the agency of a [3, 3] sigmatropic shift and (2) installation of the fourth acetylene unit in a very sterically demanding environment. Alternative routes and model systems which were more informative than productive are also discussed. Finally, transition metal-mediated coupling of the rather unstable 1 (and derivatives) with unsaturated partners furnished a variety of relatively stable polylalkynylated species which could be manipulated without event.The broad range of desirable bulk physical properties, including several “extremes", exhibited by the naturally occurring carbon allotropes diamond and graphite have generated intense interest in preparing related materials by rational synthesis.* 1 However, limited access to a wide range of structurally interesting monomer units along with difficulties in polymerization/characterization
