Carbolithiation of conjugated enynes with aryllithiums in microflow system and applications to synthesis of allenylsilanes

Org Lett. 2009 Aug 20;11(16):3614-7. doi: 10.1021/ol901352t.

Abstract

Carbolithiation of conjugated enynes with aryllithiums generated by Br-Li exchange reaction followed by reaction of the allenyllithium compounds with chlorosilanes was carried out in a microflow system to obtain various allenylsilanes in good yields.
