Résumé

A convenient synthesis of functionalized propargylic alcohols arising from the 1,2-addition of lithium alkynyl-trimethyl borate onto aldehydes under transition metal free mild conditions is reported. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups, is highly chemoselective and the propargylic alcohols are isolated in good to excellent yields. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
