✦ Synopsis

Conversions of propargyl alcohols to allenyl halides, either directly or through the corresponding propargyl halides, have been used extensively in allene synthesis. 1 Unfortunately, despite the potential for assymmetric synthesis of chiral allenes, the stereochemistry of these reactions has been neglected, with a few exceptions. 2-5

This material, and all others reported here, had the expected physical and spectral properties.
