Conspectus So far, over 150 natural products and pharmaceuticals containing an allene
moiety have been identified. During the last two decades, allenes have also been …

The use of alkyl amines and ethers as traceless hydride donors in [1, 5]-hydride transfer
cascade reactions represents a promising strategy that greatly enriches redox-neutral …

Tetrasubstituted propargylamines comprise a unique class of highly useful compounds,
which can be accessed through the multicomponent coupling between ketones, amines …

Herein we report the first example of a Pd-catalyzed highly selective three-component
reaction of alkynyl-1, 4-diol dicarbonates, organoboronic acids, and malonate anions for the …

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been conducted to study the mechanisms,
substituent effects, and the role of bases in Au-and Cu-catalyzed hydroacylation of terminal …

A rhodium-catalyzed C–H functionalization-based intermolecular allylation of indoles with
trisubstituted allenes has been developed. This synthetic process proceeds with an …

An FeCl3-catalyzed allenic Claisen rearrangement/regio-and chemoselective aerobic
dehydrogenative cyclization domino reaction is developed, providing a wide range of 2 …

A new, straightforward, highly efficient, and mild catalytic protocol for the synthesis of α‐
tertiary propargylamines, via the multicomponent KA2 reaction (Ketone‐Amine‐Alkyne) …

A straightforward, user-friendly, efficient protocol for the one pot, ZnI2-catalyzed allenylation
