Abstract
Reaction of BuTeLi with propargylic bromides yields corresponding alle nic and/or propargylic tellurides. The subsequent Li-Te exchange of th e tellurides at low temperatures affords allenyl- and/or propargyllith iums. Thus formed propa-1,2-dienyllithium rearranges to 1-propynyllith ium in refluxing THF. These organolithiums were trapped with carbonyl compounds to give homopropargylic and propargylic alcohols.
