Abstract
Lithiation of 1-aryl-3-alkylpropadienes and subsequent transmetalation with zinc bromide followed by Pd-catalyzed Negishi coupling reactions with halides afforded the corresponding trisubstituted allenes in a highly regioselective fashion with good yields. A plausible regioselective lithiation mechanism was proposed on the basis of deuterium labeling experiments.
