Biacetylene reacts with an excess of diethylamine in dilute solutions of anhydrous acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, and THF to form the diadduct 1,3-bis(diethyl-amino)-1,3-butadiene (lambda/sub max/ 325 nm). During concentration of the reaction mixture the latter undergoes hydration by the residual amounts of water in the 3-(diethylamino)-2-butenal. The spectral characteristics (UV, IR, PMR) of the intermediate reaction products are given. The kinetics of the stage of addition of the diethylamine and water to the monoadduct, 1-(diethylamino)-1-buten-3-yne, were studied. It was concluded that the addition of the nucleophile to the triple bond during its secondary amination and hydration is facilitated by the concerted transfer of a proton.
