Room Temperature Allenation of Terminal Alkynes with Aldehydes.

A gold-catalyzed room temperature allenation of terminal alkynes (ATA) with aldehydes affording 1,3-disubstituted allenes with diverse functional groups has been developed by identifying a gold(I) catalyst and an amine. The practicality of this reaction has been demonstrated by a ten gram-scale synthesis and the synthetic potentials have been demonstrated via various transformations and formal total synthesis of (-)-centrolobine. Mechanistic studies revealed that the gold catalyst, the aldehyde effect, and the structure of amine are vital in this room temperature ATA reaction.
