Under silver catalysis conditions, using [Tp*,BrAg]2 as the catalyst precursor, allenes react with PhI═NTs in the first example of efficient metal-mediated intermolecular nitrene transfer to such substrates. The nature of the substituent at the allene seems crucial for the reaction outcome since arylallenes are converted into azetidine derivatives, whereas methylene aziridines are the products resulting from alkylallenes. Mechanistic studies allow proposing that azetidines are formed through unstable cyclopropylimine intermediates, which further incorporate a second nitrene group, both processes being silver-mediated. Methylene aziridines from alkylallenes derive from catalytic nitrene addition to the allene double bonds. Both routes have resulted to be productive for further synthetic transformations affording aminocyclopropanes.

A catalytic enantioselective construction of all-carbon chiral quaternary centers through reductive hydroxymethylation of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with CO2 has been developed. In the presence of a copper/Mandyphos catalyst, CO2 is t
Regioselective Diboron-Mediated Semireduction of Terminal Allenes

A method for the regioselective reduction of the terminal double bond of 1,1-disubstituted allenes has been developed. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, tetrahydroxydiboron and stoichiometric water, allene semireduction proceeds in high yield to afford Z-alkenes selectively.
