Application

  • Allene is extensively used in a variety of photochemical, thermal, and transition metal-mediated cycloadditions.
  • It can be lithiated to obtain allenyllithium which reacts with alkyl halides to afford terminal allenes.
  • Additional application includes the preparation of reagents such as isopropenylsilanes and isopropenylstannanes by reacting with stannyl and silyl cuprates respectively.

Packaging

Supplied in a carbon steel lecture bottle with a CGA180M/CGA110F needle valve installed.

Compatible with the following:
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle station systems
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle gas regulators

Getting axed: synthesis of the title amines, bearing functionality (R(1) and R(2)), involves the enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylation of allenyl N-tosylcarbamates. The reaction proceeds smoothly using both the chiral ligands (S)- and (R)-DTBM-Segphos (1) to afford the allenyl amines in good
