Using stable alternate chemical, alkynyl esters can be synthesized via process which replaces and reduces risks associated with butyllithium. Process uses alternative reaction for alkynyl ester production and does not rely on butyllithium or Grignard reagents. Alkynyl esters, such as Ethyl-2-heptynoate, suit various industrial applications, including pharmaceutical intermediates and fragrances. Several alkyne esters are available.
