A silver(I) catalyzed regioselective trifluoromethylation of allenes using Langlois's salt (NaOSOCF3) is demonstrated. This transformation enables direct expedient access to α-trifluoromethylated acroleins, which are valuable synthons for a number of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals containing vinyl-CF3 moieties. Versatility of this trifluoromethylation method has been established with good yield and excellent regioselectivity. Preliminary experiments and computational studies were carried out to elucidate the mechanistic insight of this protocol.

Copper-catalyzed silylation of aryl allenes using a silylborane reagent affords vinyl silane building blocks with high efficiency. The use of a seven-membered NHC ligand proved crucial for high regioselectivity. The catalytically generated allylcoppper intermediates were intercepted by aldehydes in a diastereoselective three-component coupling to furnish homoallylic alcohols. Seven′s up! The use of a seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand proved crucial in exerting high regiocontrol during the development of the first copper-catalyzed silylation of allenes using a commercial silylborane reagent. The process affords privileged vinyl silane building blocks with high efficiency. Allylcopper intermediates can be intercepted by aldehydes in a highly diastereoselective three-component coupling to furnish homoallylic alcohols.
