Abstract
Tertiary homopropargyl alcohols can be used as allenylmetal equivalents in a palladium-catalyzed reaction with aryl halides to provide arylallenes regioselectively. The reaction includes retro-propargylation, which proceeds in a concerted fashion via a cyclic transition state and transfers the stereochemistry of homopropargyl alcohols through C-C bond cleavage.
