Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.64.2298

The reaction of tris(t-butylthio)cyclopropenylium perchlorate with phenyl-, o-tolyl-, or 1-naphthylmagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature gave t-butylthio-substituted allenes and indenes.The reaction with 2,6-xylylmagnesium bromide gave only the corresponding allene derivative.
