We report the strategic use of cyclo­hexyne and the more elusive intermediate, cyclo­pentyne, as a tool for the synthesis of new hetero­cyclic compounds. Experimental and computational studies of a 3-substituted cyclo­hexyne are also described. The observed regio­selectivities are explained by the distortion/​interaction model.
