Propargylation of aldehydes using potassium allenyltrifluoroborate

Abstract

The commercially available resin Amberlyst A-31 was efficiently used to promote the propargylation of aldehydes using potassium allenyltrifluoroborate. The method is simple and fast, and the products were obtained in short reaction times in high yields and purity at room temperature in a regio- and chemoselective manner.
