Abstract
The copper-catalyzed reductive Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of propargylic acrylates led to 3,4-allenoic acids in the presence of silanes or pinacolborane as stoichiometric reducing agents and triethylphosphite as a ligand. A copper-catalyzed reductive Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of allylic 2,3-allenoates using pinacolborane provides various 1,5-dienes in excellent yields.
