Prop-2-ynylic halides, R1R2CXC≡CR3 (1, X = Cl, Br), react with Pd[PPh3]4 to yield pure trans-(σ-allenyl)bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) halides, R1R2C=C=CR3Pd[PPh3]2X (3), when R3 is hydrogen. The acetylenic isomers trans-R3C≡CCR1R2Pd[PPh3] 2X (4) are obtained pure when R3 is a bulky group, e.g., t-C4H9 and (CH3)3Si, and R1 and R2 are both hydrogen. A mixture of both isomers is formed when R3 is methyl and R1 and R2 are both hydrogen. Prop-2-ynylic acetates, R1R2CXC≡CR3 (1, X = OAc), can also be used to prepare the palladium(II) complexes, but salts like zinc or lithium chloride must be present to let the conversion proceed. The formation of 3 from 1 takes place with anti stereoselectivity. In a number of cases adducts 3 have been prepared by reaction of allenic halides, R1R2C=C=CR3X (2, X = Cl, Br), with Pd[PPh3]4. This reaction occurs with inversion of configuration of the allenyl moiety. The reactivity of adducts 3 and 4 was studied by reacting them with organozinc compounds, R4ZnX′. The reactions preferentially lead to allenes, R1R2C=C=CR3R4. The acetylenic isomers arise when the R3 group is very bulky.
