Treatment of bis(1-phenylethynyl)-p-tolylstibanes 2 with Grignard reagents resulted in nucleophilic displacement of one ethynyl group on 2 to afford the monoethynyl compounds 3 on which the remaining ethynyl group could be replaced with other substituents by treatment with Grignard or organolithium reagents. These stepwise reactions provide an efficient method for the preparation of a wide range of Sb-chiral organoantimony(III) compounds.
