Allenes have always fascinated chemists because of the intriguing features of the cumulated
diene function such as the higher reactivity compared to simple alkenes and the peculiar …

Direct and rapid heating by microwave irradiation in combination with sealed vessel
processing in many cases enables reactions to be carried out in a fraction of the time …

Tailored to the needs of medicinal and natural products chemists, the second edition of this
unique handbook brings the contents up to speed, almost doubling the amount of chemical …

Abstract A metal‐free [2+ 2] cycloaddition and 1, 4‐addition sequence induced by S‐
centered radicals has been achieved by treating benzene‐linked allene‐ynes with …

The development of effective small‐molecule probes and drugs entails at least three stages:
1) a discovery phase, often requiring the synthesis and screening of candidate compounds …

The allene moiety represents an excellent partner for the [2+ 2] cycloaddition with alkenes
and alkynes, affording the cyclobutane and cyclobutene skeletons in a single step. This …

Microwave technology has become very important in synthesis and it is reasonable to assert
that there are now very few areas of synthetic organic chemistry that have not been shown to …

The present review is focused on the application of computational/theoretical methods to the
wide and rich chemistry of allenes. Special emphasis is made on the interplay and synergy …

Allenes have allowed chemists to access a variety of structurally interesting and biologically
active products. The emergence of these unique compounds in organic synthesis is a direct …

Comprehensive Summary Yne‐allenes bearing both a C—C triple bond and an allene unit
are a class of focal substrates in organic synthesis, in view of their structure diversity, high …
