Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Reactivity of Vinylallenes



Vinylallenes have been synthesized and used as reagents for many years. However,
the number of reviews covering the advances in the chemistry of vinylallenes are
scarce. Most of the information lies in general reviews about allenes or in reviews dedicated
to specific areas of research. Today, vinylallenes are used in the synthesis due to the
special characteristics of this moiety, a diene with a non-conjugated double bond and the
capacity to generate axial chirality. In this review, the most relevant publications
involving vinylallenes, published in the last fifteen years, are compiled. The review
includes new or improved synthetic methods and the reactivity of vinylallenes prepared by
classical or new methods. The reactions of vinylallenes have been classified as Nazarovtype
processes, cycloaddition reactions, and reactions in which vinylallenes are key
intermediates, usually non-isolated but essential for the process to occur. Other types of reactivity are also
included.
