Abstract
The novel synthetic method is described for preparation of not only 1-bromo- but 1,3-dibromo-1-trifluoromethylated allenes from the corresponding propargylic alcohols with a combination of CBr4 and Ph3P. Selection of the organic solvent employed enabled us to access to these two different allenes quite readily.

References and Notes
Typical Procedure for the Preparation of the Bromoallene 3a To a solution of 1a (0.12 g, 0.60 mmol) and Ph3P (0.38 g, 1.4 mmol) in DMF (2.0 mL) was added CBr4 (0.24 g, 0.72 mmol) at r.t. The solution was stirred at that temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with H2O (20 mL) and extracted with hexane-EtOAc (1:1, 3 × 15 mL). Concentration by rotary evaporator after dried over Na2SO4 furnished a crude mixture that was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 20:1) to afford 3a (0.14 g, 0.51 mmol, 85%) as a pale yellow oil.

Procedure for the
Preparation of the Allenylcarbinols 7a and 7b
To a
solution of 3a (0.32 g, 1.20 mmol) and
isobutyr-aldehyde (142 µL, 1.6 mmol) in Et2O
(5 mL) was added BuLi (0.98 mL, 1.6 mmol, 1.6 M in hexane) at -105 ˚C.
The solution was stirred at that temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture
was quenched with 1 M aq HCl solution (3 mL) and extracted with
EtOAc (3 × 20 mL). Usual workup and purification
by silica gel chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 12:1) afforded 7a (0.087 g, 0.41 mol 34%) and 7b (0.14 g, 0.66 mmol 55%).
