Cyclohexyne is a highly reactive, strained cyclic alkyne with the molecular formula C6H8 and the structure of a six-membered carbon ring containing a triple bond.[1] It is a member of the class of compounds known as arynes (or more broadly, cycloalkynes) and is best classified as a six-membered cyclic alkyne. Due to its high ring strain and instability, cyclohexyne cannot be isolated under normal conditions and exists only as a short-lived reactive intermediate in certain organic reactions.[2]
