Abstract
A propargylation of aldehydes and ketones with allenyl and propargyl boronates is mediated by a catalytic amount of zinc. The propargylation with crystalline and air-stable propargyl diethanolamine boronates was also achieved. A catalytic cycle is proposed, and preliminary mechanistic studies are discussed.
