A kinetically controlled radical addition/elimination reaction generating fluorinated allenes was developed. This strategy offers a route to a facile synthesis of diverse trifluoromethyl, difluoromethylene, and perfluoroalkyl functionalized allenes from readily available fluoroalkyl halides and alkynyl aziridines under visible-light irradiation. Density functional theory calculation of this radical clock type of reaction revealed a kinetically controlled C-N bond cleavage overcoming the alternative thermodynamically controlled C-C bond cleavage process.

The Ir-catalyzed conversion of prochiral tert-cyclobutanols to β-methyl-substituted ketones proceeds under comparably mild conditions in toluene (45–110 °C) and is particularly suited for the enantioselective desymmetrization of β-oxy-substituted substrates to give products with a quaternary chirality center with up to 95 % ee using DTBM-SegPhos as a chiral ligand. Deuteration experiments and kinetic isotope effect measurements revealed major mechanistic differences to related RhI-catalyzed transformations. Supported by DFT calculations we propose the initial formation of an IrIII hydride intermediate, which then undergoes a β-C elimination (C?C bond activation) prior to reductive C?H elimination. The computational model also allows the prediction of the stereochemical outcome. The Ir-catalyzed cyclobutanol cleavage is broadly applicable but fails for substrates bearing strongly coordinating groups. The method is of particular value for the stereo-controlled synthesis of substituted chromanes related to the tocopherols and other natural products.

A direct and convenient approach for the coupling of propargylic substrates with diphenylphosphine oxide in the presence of Tf2O and 2,6-lutidine has been developed. The method provides a general approach for the construction of attractive allenylphosphoryl skeletons with high atom and step economy under metal free conditions.
