Abstract

In this paper we outline how dihalohydration reactions of propargylic alcohols can be used to access a wide variety of useful halogenated building blocks. A novel procedure for dibromohydration of alkynes has been developed, and a selection of dichloro and dibromo diols and cyclic ethers were synthesized. The dihalohydration of homo‐propargylic alcohols provides a useful route to 3‐halofurans, which were shown to readily undergo cycloaddition reactions under mild conditions. Finally, a novel ring‐expansion of propargylic alcohols containing a cyclopropylalkyne provides access to halogenated alkenylcyclobutanes.
