LDA-mediated selective addition reaction of vinylidenecyclopropanes with aldehydes, ketones, and enones: facile synthesis of vinylcyclopropenes, allenols, and 1,3-enynes.
Highly selective addition reaction of vinylidenecyclopropanes 1 was realized by treatment with LDA in THF and quenching with aldehydes, ketones, and enones. A number of vinylcyclopropenes, allenols, and 1,3-enynes were obtained selectively in moderate to good yields depending on the nature of different electrophiles.
