A General and Efficient FeCl₃-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Substitution of Propargylic Alcohols

Abstract

A general and efficient FeCl3-catalyzed substitution reaction of propargylic alcohols with carbon- and heteroatom-centered nucleophiles such as allyl trimethylsilane, alcohols, aromatic compounds, thiols, and amides, leading to the construction of C-C, C-O, C-S and C-N bonds, has been developed.
