Y. Han et Yz. Huang, GALLIUM-MEDIATED HIGHLY REGIOSELECTIVE REACTIONS OF TRIMETHYLSILYLPROPARGYL BROMIDE AND TRIMETHYLSILYLALLYL BROMIDE WITH CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(50), 1994, pp. 9433-9434
One-pot reactions of gallium powder, trimethylsilylpropargyl bromide,
aldehydes or ketones in the presence of KI and LiCl show very high ace
tylenic selectivity and under the same conditions, trimethylsilylallyl
bromide also exhibits very high selectivity favoring alpha-adducts.
