Various propargylic amines underwent a palladium-catalyzed hydrogen-transfer
reaction in the presence of (C6F5)3P,
giving the corresponding allenes in good yields.

1,1-diarylpropadienes and
1,3-diarylpropynes can be prepared by the sequential lithiation of
1-aryl-1-propynes, transmetalation, and the corresponding Pd(0)-catalyzed
cross-coupling with aryl halides.

Homoallenic alcohols are prepared from various propargyl vinyl ethers using a
trinuclear gold(I)-oxo complex, [(Ph3PAu)3O]BF4,
as a catalyst for propargyl Claisen rearrangement at room temperature.

Enantioenriched propargyl mesylates or perfluorobenzoates react with α-(N-carbamoyl)alkylcuprates
to afford scalemic α-(N-carbamoyl) allenes. Subsequent N-Boc
deprotection and AgNO3-promoted cyclization afford enantioenriched
N-alkyl-3-pyrrolines.
