M. Hojo et al., Allyl- and propargylchromium reagents generated by a chromium(III) ate-type reagent as a reductant and their reactions with electrophiles, CHEM COMMUN, (4), 2001, pp. 357-358
A chromium ate-type reagent 'Bu5CrLi2' reacts with allylic and propargylic
phosphates to generate the corresponding allyl- and propargylchromium (prop
argyl = prop-2-ynyl) reagents which further react with a variety of electro
philes such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, and isocyanates to afford the co
rresponding adducts in high yields.
