Kk. Wang et al., STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF ENEDIYNES AND ENYNES BY CONDENSATION OF ALDEHYDES WITH GAMMA-(TRIALKYLSILYL)ALLENYLBORANES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(52), 1993, pp. 8391-8394
Enediynes and enynes with high geometric purity were synthesized by tr
eating acetylenic and simple aldehydes with gamma-(tert-butyldimethyls
ilyl)allenylborane 2a followed by the elimination step of the Peterson
olefination reaction.
