Bicycloalkenyldiiodonium salts, di[phenyl(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) iodo]norbornadiene (1a) and di[phenyl(trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy) iodo]-3,5-epoxy-1,4-cyclohexadiene (1b) react under mild conditions, with a number of lithium alkynylcuprates, generated in situ from the corresponding lithium acetylides and copper(I) cyanide, to give the respective enediynes 2 in moderate to good isolated yields.
