Table 4. Propargylic Alcohols Scope with (HO)P(OEt)2Aa.
Reaction conditions: 1a (2 mmol) and 2X (1.5 equiv) in technical toluene (2 mL).
1H NMR yields/recoveries are the average of two independent experiments and were determined with respect to 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as internal standard.
Isolated yields are provided in brackets.
12% of the corresponding enone was also formed in this reaction according to the 1H NMR.
