58. This rearrangement may be caused by excess lithiated methoxyallene present or its presumed thermal decomposition product lithium methoxide. The process requires deprotonation at the terminal allene carbon and reprotonation in position 3 to generate the alkyne moiety. The overall driving force could be the subsequent deprotonation of the fairly acidic alkyne proton to afford the dianions of compounds 6. The fairly low yields indicate that considerable decomposition is occurring under these reaction conditions.
