Ni-Catalyzed Three-component Coupling Reaction of Conjugated Enyne, Carbonyls, and Dimethylzinc to Construct Allenyl Alcohols
Nickel catalyzes the three-component coupling reaction of dimethylzinc, enyne, and carbonyls to provide tetrasubstituted allenyl alcohols. Diethylzinc and diphenylzinc can participate in similar coupling reactions to provide the corresponding allenyl alcohols in reasonable yields.
