Reaction proceeds through the nucleophilic attack of OH functionality in 1 to CCl3CN followed by cyclization, propargyl/allene isomerization, and protonation. In this investigation, it is noticed that propargyl/allene isomerization is sensitive to the substituents.enPreparation of 4-Allenyloxazolines from (<i>Z</i>)-2-En-4-yn-1-ol via Propargyl/Allenyl Isomerizationjournal article10.1021/acs.joc.4c01152
