The term propargylic refers to a
saturated position (
''sp''3-hybridized) on a molecular framework next to an
alkynyl group. The name comes from mix of ''propene'' and ''argentum'', which refers to the typical reaction of the terminal alkynes with
silver salts.
The term homopropargylic designates in the same manner
