Syntheses of 2-t-alkylbuta-1,3-dienes and 2-alkylthiobuta-1,3-dienes from 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne via alkenylboranes
Abstract
2-t-Alkylbuta-1,3-dienes were synthesized by the successive reaction of dialkylboranes, derived from tetrasubstituted ethenes and borane in tetrahydrofuran, with 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne and methyl-lithium; 2-alkylthiobuta-1,3-dienes were synthesized by a similar reaction using alkylthiomagnesium bromides instead of methyl-lithium.
