Propargyl aldehydes
« on: March 01, 2015, 04:17:32 PM »
Isn't there a way to make propargyl aldehydes without having to add a acetylide to formaldehyde and then oxidize? 

My brain is not cooperating at the moment...

Slight pushes towards the answer is appreciated!!
If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the precipitate

Hydroboration of terminal alkynes.  Not any where near what I want.  That is what I was thinking.

Mod can delete this if they would like.
