Synthetic routes to stable cycloalkynes of medium ring size are discussed. Included are systems having additional unsaturated functions or aromatic rings and cycloalkynes containing heteroatoms in the ring. A bibliography of previous reviews providing information on cycloalkynes is given1-4. 1. Stability and Isomerization Tendency of Cycloalkynes 2. Syntheses of Cycloalkynes 2.1.
