A new catalytic method for the synthesis of α‐hydroxyallenes is described. Efficient S N 2′ substitution of propargylic dioxolanones has been achieved with a copper(I)/P(OBu) 3 catalyst using Grignard reagents as the nucleophiles. The reaction tolerates a wide variety of propargylic dioxolanones, the corresponding primary and secondary α‐hydroxyallenes are obtained in good to excellent yields and excellent diastereoselectivity.
