Nicholas Reactions Of Alkynyl- And Alkenyltrifluoroborates, Brent St. Onge, James R. Green

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

The Lewis acid mediated Nicholas reaction of potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates and propargyl acetate- hexacarbonyldicobalt complexes affords 1,4-diyne dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes in good yields. The analogous Nicholas reactions of potassium alkenyltrifluoroborates give 1,3-enyne dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes in most cases, although the initial site of reaction can vary. Potassium vinyltrifluoroborate itself affords alkynylcyclopropane complexes.
