Homopropargylic Alcohols from Propargylic Derivatives via Butyltelluro Allene Compounds

Abstract
Butyltelluro allenes have been prepared efficiently from propargyl bromides or tosylates. Reaction of butyltelluro allenes with butyllithium in THF at -78 °C followed by addition of a variety of aldehydes results in formation of homopropargylic alcohols in good yields.
