Abstract
Racemic homoallenyl alcohols can be synthesized from aldehydes and chloroprene-derived Grignards. The use of bis[2-dimethylaminoethyl]ether (BDMAEE) as an additive at low temperatures shifts the selectivity of the reaction almost exclusive toward allene formation. Simple and more elaborate methods for further derivatization enable quick access to more complex structures.
