Abstract

Foregoing their past as structural oddities and molecules of only fundamental interest, allenes have proven themselves as valuable synthetic building blocks and reaction intermediates.[1] In part, the interest in these molecules stems from their axial chirality,[2] which has tremendous potential in the realm of stereoselective synthesis (Figure 1).[1, 3] We have recently begun a program aimed at utilizing the unique structural features of axially ...
