Allenes. Part XIII. Syntheses of hexa-3,4-dien-1-ol and penta-2,3-dien-1-ol

Abstract
Two simple allenic alcohols, hexa-3,4-dien-1-ol and penta-2,3-dien-1-ol have been synthesised by the reduction of propynyl halides. These methods failed to give allenic alcohols when applied to conjugated diynyl halides. The mechanistic implications are discussed.
