Phenylallenes undergo fluorinative rearrangement upon the action of (difluoroiodo)toluene in the presence of 20 mol % BF ⋅OEt to yield α-difluoromethyl styrenes. This unprecedented reaction was entirely chemoselective for the internal allene π bond, and showed remarkable regioselectivity during the fluorination event. Substituted phenylallenes, phenylallenes possessing both phenyl- and α-allenyl substituents, and diphenylallenes were investigated, and good functional-group compatibility was observed throughout. The ease with which allenes can be prepared on a large scale, and the operational simplicity of this reaction allowed us to rapidly access fluorine-containing building blocks that have not been accessed by conventional deoxyfluorination strategies.

Phenylallene reacts rapidly with ClB(C6F5)2 to give the respective 2-borylindene. Several substituted allenylarenes form the respective 2-B(C6F5)2 boryl-substituted indenes upon treatment with ClB(C6F5)2 or BrB(C6F5)2 as well. Bis- and tris-allenylarenes form the corresponding products featuring multiple five-membered ring annulations, including a symmetrical tris-borylated dihydro-1H-trindene derivative.

A new method has been developed for the preparation of 3-bromo-1-phenylallenes from 7-alkynylcycloheptatrienes and N-bromosuccinimide. Trisubstituted bromoallenes were obtained at room temperature in moderate to excellent yields. Functionalization of the carbon-bromine bond via Pd- or Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions easily provided substituted allenes.

Allyl and vinyl chlorides represent important structural motifs in organic chemistry. Herein is described the chemoselective and regioselective reaction of aryl- and α-substituted phenylallenes with the hypervalent iodine (HVI) reagent 1-chloro-1,2-benziodoxol-3-one. The reaction typically results in dichlorides, except with proton-containing α-alkyl substituents, which instead give chlorinated dienes as the major product.

Nitrogen-carbon bond-forming reactions at coordinated dinitrogen in a bifunctional titanium-potassium system are reported. A titanium atrane complex with a tris(aryloxide)methyl ligand (1) was treated with two equivalents of potassium naphthalenide under N atmosphere to generate a bifunctional complex (2) in which N binds end-on to two titanium centers and side-on to three potassium cations. Dinitrogen complex 2 reacted with carbon dioxide, tert-butyl isocyanate, and phenylallene, forming nitrogen-carbon bonds and affording diverse N-functionalized products.
