• reactivity. One example utilizing the propargyl trichloracetimidates 105 was described recently by Wang and co-workers. With 30 mol% of boron trifluoride etherate, the highly desired 1,3-diarylpropynes 106 were obtained in good yields. The reaction was over within 5 min and various arenes and heteroarenes

• 2). An increase in the amount of ZnCl2 led to the formation of a complex mixture containing a small amount of propellane 22 (entry 3). Next, instead of ZnCl2, which is only slightly soluble in CH2Cl2, boron trifluoride etherate (BF3 · OEt2) was applied as a soluble Lewis acid; however, similar

• .) For the syntheses of the allylated and reduced substrates, the crude products were treated directly with boron trifluoride etherate and either allyltrimethylsilane or triethylsilane. It was possible to switch cleanly to a one-directional synthesis because the N,O acetals were much more susceptible to
