Abstract

Zinc diiodide has been identified as an effective reagent for the efficient synthesis of trisubstituted allenes from propargylic amines. Compared to CdI2 this protocol offers a green approach. Due to the easy preparation of propargylic amines through the method developed by this group, this method provides a two-step synthesis of trisubstituted allenes from 1-alkynes, ketones, and pyrrolidine. Finally, an efficient synthesis of such trisubstituted allenes from 1-alkynes, ketones, and pyrrolidine via simple filtration has been developed. Compared with the CdI2-mediated protocol, the current protocol enjoys a much wider scope for ketones and affords functionalized allenes without further cyclization in some substrates.
