A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between in situ generated allenyl/propargyl-lithium species and aryl bromides to yield highly functionalized allenes is reported. The direct and selective formation of allenic products preventing the corresponding isomeric propargylic product is accomplished by the choice of SPhos or XPhos based Pd catalysts. The methodology avoids the prior transmetalation to other transition metals or reverse approaches that required prefunctionalization of substrates with leaving groups, resulting in a fast and efficient approach for the synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted allenes. Experimental and theoretical studies on the mechanism show catalyst control of selectivity in this allene formation.

- 20In our previous work on the coupling of alkenyllithium species (ref. [16f]), two representative examples of allenyllithium species were reported, finding problems of selectivity in most of the attempted products.
- 21As reported by S. Ma and Q. He (ref. [14b]), we experienced some problems of reproducibility in the coupling reaction of 4a when nBuLi or tBuLi were used as lithiation agent. We found that the use of freshly distilled solvents and alkynes was critical for the correct performance of the reaction, observing a dramatical drop in both conversion and selectivity when commercial alkynes were directly used without previous purification.
- 22As determined by 1H and 13C-NMR.
- 23Reactions proceed cleanly, however, product 5 a–5 j isomerized and decomposed at room temperature. Fast purification and storing under inert atmosphere in freezer was required.

- 25Product 5 j was found to completly isomerized to 6 j at r.t, while purification.
- 26A similar experiment using Pd(dba)2/XPhos as catalyst and 0.1 equiv of carbazole was performed to check possible influence of the amine released from the catalyst as source of the found selectivity. However, the same selectivity (65:35) with a moderate conversion was found.
