Montgomery has developed a procedure for the three-component coupling of aldehydes,<br />
alkynes, and organozincs to produce allylic alcohols (Scheme 36). [79] Two-component couplings<br />
involving ynals are also reported. If no phosphine is employed, the organozinc ligand<br />
is incorporated into the allylic alcohol product 56. However, if bis(ç 4 -cycloocta-1,5diene)nickel(0)<br />
(2) and tributylphosphine are employed and if the organozinc possesses a<br />
â-hydrogen, a hydrogen atom is instead introduced from the organozinc to generate product<br />
57. Triethylsilane may also be employed as the reducing agent, and this variant has<br />
been utilized in the total synthesis of allopumiliotoxin 267A (58; Scheme 37). [80] The ynal<br />
cyclization method is quite general with functionalized substrates.<br />
