Abstract

The regioselective radical bromoallylation of allenes proceeded efficiently in the presence of AIBN as a radical initiator to give 2-bromo-substituted 1, 5-dienes in excellent yields. The addition of a bromine radical took place regioselectively onto the central carbon of allenes generating a stable allyl radical, which underwent addition/β-fragmentation reactions with allylbromides. The products could be further functionalized by Pd-catalyzed coupling ...
