posted on 2003-04-05, 00:00 authored by Alexandra Hölemann, Hans-Ulrich ReissigA surprising samarium diiodide-induced coupling reaction of carbonyl compounds with methoxyallene provided 4-hydroxy 1-enol ethers,
which are versatile synthetic building blocks. In this coupling reaction, methoxyallene serves as an acrolein equivalent, which cannot directly
be employed.
