Abstract

A chromium ate-type reagent ‘Bu₅CrLi₂’ reacts with allylic and propargylic phosphates to generate the corresponding allyl- and propargylchromium (propargyl = prop-2-ynyl) reagents which further react with a variety of electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, and isocyanates to afford the corresponding adducts in high yields.
