BiCl3-Catalyzed propargylic substitution reaction of propargylic alcohols with C-, O-, S- and N-centered nucleophiles

Abstract

A general and efficient BiCl3-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.
