Would not a better structure 2 have double bonds from carbons 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 5-6 ?

I would read the drawing in a way which is proposed by the above question. T.vanschaik (talk) 20:24, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction?

The article seems somewhat contradictory, to me. Paragraph two says, "[The name 'benzyne'] is open for criticism because it implies a triple bond which would be a special case of triple bonds, so a better name is didehydrobenzene." I'm not sure what "implies a triple bond which would be a special case of triple bonds" means (can anyone rephrase this into something comprehensible?) but sentence seems to me to be saying that we shouldn't call it "benzyne" because "-yne" suggests a triple bond that isn't there. However, the rest of that paragraph and the following one repeatedly calls the substance "benzyne" and talks about its triple bond.Dricherby (talk) 01:45, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Changes

I see there have been a lot of changes recently, and a bit of an edit skirmish. Could we please have some dialog? The opening image was topical and nice, but not terribly encyclopedic--was that the issue? The new content is nice, but it does need some copy-editing. Can we work together here?

content vanished

All nice and well, the article expansion but at the same time a lot of content has vanished. Look more like an article replacement. Deletion of content should be discussed / commented. V8rik (talk) 19:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear V8rik, I have incorporated a lot of the content that was on the previous article in text. Have replaced figures with ones that have same chem draw settings. The metal-benzyne complexes part was heavily based on just a few papers, and was a bit detached from the rest of the article, but can be returned to the article.

Current it has this sentence

"Even at low temperatures arynes are extremely reactive. Their reactivity can be classified in four major classes: (1) nucleophilic additions, (2) pericyclic reactions, and (3) bond-insertion. "

Whats the 4th class? Accidentally omitted or edited out?

o-, m- and p-Benzynes or 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-didehydrobenzenes?

It is well accepted that only 1,2-didehydrobenzene can be called benzyne, implying a triple bond between two consecutive carbon atoms. The other two isomers SHOULD NEVER be called m-benzyne and p-benzyne, there is no possible structure with a triple bond. IUPAC (and common sense) recommends the names 1,3- and 1,4-didehydrobenzene for these intermediates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniblanco (talk • contribs) 13:31, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. It was a student project and was never corrected. --Smokefoot (talk) 16:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added the IUPAC cites to the lede. Looks like dehydrobenzene/dehydroarene should be an article and shift the 1,3- and 1,4- content from here to there. DMacks (talk) 16:39, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
