Abstract
Lithiation of 1-iodo-1,3-dienyl phosphine oxides and subsequent Wittig-Horner reaction with aldehydes gives vinyl allenes in high yields. The preparation of the 1-iodo-1,3-dienyl phosphine oxides is described. This multi-step sequence allows the synthesis of vinyl allenes from two different alkynes and one aldehyde.
