Propargyl bromide, 97%, 80% w/w in toluene, stab. with magnesium oxide, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

General References:

1. With Mg in ether, generates allenylmagnesium bromide which can be coupled with a further molecule of propargyl bromide to give the bis-allene 1,2,4,5-hexatetraene: Org. Synth. Coll., 7, 485 (1990). Diels-Alder reaction of the product with Dimethyl acetyl enedicarboxyl ate, A11437 leads to a para-cyclophane.
2. Barbier-type reaction with aldehydes in aqueous THF gives the secondary alcohols in moderate to good yields: Synth. Commun., 25, 2923 (1995); partial rearrangement to the allene could occur; cf Allyl bromide, A11766, for similar reactions. For reaction with aldehydes in the presence of Zn in THF, and transformation of the resulting secondary alcohols into pyruvate esters, see: J. Chem. Chem. Commun ., 1289 (1991).
