Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) On the same route: Chromium-carbyne complexes are readily prepared by treatment of 1,1,1-trichloromethyl reagents with chromium(II) chloride. They serve as intermediates in the selective formation of a wide variety of products, such as alkynes, alkenes, β-hydroxy ketones, aldehydes, allylic alcohols, and allenes (see scheme, E = electrophile).
