Abstract

Abstract In tetrahydrofuran tertiary 2-propynyl sulfinates R 1-C≡ CC (R 2, R 3)-OS (O) Me (1) are smoothly converted in a 1, 3-substitution reaction into allenic hydrocarbons RR 1 C [DOUBLE BOND] C [DOUBLE BOND] CR 2 R 3 (4) by organoheterocuprates of the type (RCuBr) MgX. Generally, much attack on the sulfur atom in 1 is observed when this compound is treated with (RCuBr) MgX in diethyl ether, or with R 2 CuMgX in diethyl ether ...
