Abstract

In the past decade transition metal catalyzed reactions of allenes have become increasingly important. A new principle common in many of these reactions is the presence of functional groups on the carbon atom next to the allene unit which allows a degree of selectivity (regio-, stereo-, chemo-, and positional selectivity, see picture) difficult to achieve by other methods.
