P. Forgione et Ag. Fallis, Magnesium mediated carbometallation of propargyl alcohols: direct routes to dihydroxydienes and enediyne alcohols, TETRAHEDR L, 41(1), 2000, pp. 11-15
The addition of vinyl and alkynyl Grignard reagents to propargyl alcohols f
or the direct synthesis of dihydroxydienes and enediyne alcohols from a one
pot reaction is described. These products arise from the putative magnesiu
m chelate intermediate 2 upon reaction with the appropriate electrophile. (
