A catalytic asymmetric Negishi cross-coupling of racemic secondary propargylic
halides with arylzinc reagents has been developed using commerically available
catalyst components (NiCl2·glyme and pybox as ligand).

PMA-silica gel catalyzes efficiently the propargylation of aromatic compounds
with arylpropargyl alcohols in the absence of solvent under environmentally
benign conditions.

p-Toluenesulfonic acid efficiently catalyzes direct nucleophilic
substitutions of the hydroxy groups of propargylic alcohols with a large
variety of carbon- and heteroatom-centered nucleophiles. Reactions can be
conducted under mild conditions and in air without the need for dried
solvents.

A general and efficient FeCl3-catalyzed substitution reaction of
propargylic alcohols with carbon- and heteroatom-centered nucleophiles such
as allyl trimethylsilane, alcohols, aromatic compounds, thiols, and amides,
forms new C-C, C-O, C-S and C-N bonds.
