Arynes react with ethoxyacetylene to afford 2-ethoxyethynylaryl derivatives through a highly chemo- and regioselective formal insertion of the aryne into C(sp)−O(sp3) bond alkyne. Computational studies suggest that reaction does not proceed mechanism initiated by nucleophilic addition oxygen atom as previously proposed but triple alkyne aryne.
