Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Very couply! Coupling reactions of propargyl or benzyl alcohols with allyl- or alkynylsilanes proceed efficiently using [{ReBr(CO)3(thf)}2] as catalyst. Additionally, diethynylmethane derivatives were obtained by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with trimethyl(phenylethynyl)silane in the presence of both the rhenium complex and AuCl (see scheme).
