Ar represents an aromatic ring or one that contains at least one nitrogen atom and/or sulfur atom optionally having a substituent, and two Ars are optionally bonded with each other to form a ring structure; the broken line represents a bond with Y; Y represents a divalent or trivalent organic group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms that contains an aromatic ring or a heteroaromatic ring optionally having a substituent, the bonds of which are located in a structure of the aromatic ring or the heteroaromatic ring; R represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent group having 1 to 68 carbon atoms. This compound can be cured even in an inert gas not only in air atmosphere without forming byproducts, and can form an organic under layer film.

The current invention belongs to the technical fields of fine chemicals and related chemistry, and provides a preparation method for butadiene derivatives. Arylacetylenes and derivatives using as raw materials react in an anhydrous organic solvent in the presence of a metal catalyst and an additive, and are converted into 2,3-disubstituted-1,3-butadiene derivatives. The current invention has some beneficial characteristics such as cheap and readily available raw material, mild reaction conditions, environmentally friendly property and possibility of realizing industrialization, and obtains the 1,3-butadiene derivatives in high yields. The 1,3-butadiene derivatives synthesized by this method can be further functionalized into various compounds which have potential applications in development and research of natural products, functional materials and fine chemicals.
