%X Alkynes can be produced by treating some &#945;-bromo ketones with arylsulfonylhydrazines. The reaction is acid-catalysed and mesitylsulfonylhydrazine was the most efficient hydrazine reagent examined. The mechanism of the reaction has not been elucidated although it is shown not to proceed via an &#945;-bromo mesitylsulfonylhydrazone.
