Abstract

A protocol for regio-controlled hydromagnesiation of 1,3-enynes was developed using magnesium hydride that is generated in situ by solvothermal treatment of sodium hydride (NaH) and magnesium iodide (MgI2 ) in THF. The resulting allenylmagnesium species could be converted into tri- and tetra-substituted allenes by subsequent treatment with various carbon- and silicon-based electrophiles with the aid of CuCN as a catalyst.
