Abstract

Proper solvent selection between Cl(CH2)2Cl and CF3CH2OH was the key to high yields in a deoxygenation of propargyl alcohols in the presence of Et3SiH and H3[PW12O40]·nH2O as catalyst. Under similar conditions, the deoxygenation of allyl alcohols proceeded to give thermodynamically stable alkenes with migration of the double bonds in good yields.
