Fl. Yang et al., Nucleophilic reactions of propargyl acetates mediated by titanocene dichloride and magnesium, TETRAHEDR L, 42(15), 2001, pp. 2839-2841
Reaction of Cp2TiCL2/Mg with propargyl acetates form allenyl titanium inter
mediates, which undergo nucleophilic addition reactions to aldehydes or ket
ones to give homopropargyl alcohols in high yields. Subsequent nucleophilic
addition to acetonitrile and nucleophilic substitution with allyl bromide
are also mentioned. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
