Rhenium-catalyzed coupling of 2-propynyl alcohols and several nucleophiles via dehydration
Treatment of 2-propynyl alcohols with several nucleophiles in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhenium complex [ReBr(CO)(3)(thf)](2), gave coupling products via dehydration. In these reactions. C-C, C-O. and C-S bonds call be constructed under mild conditions.
