A redox neutral rearrangement of an allene to a 1,3-diene by means of a unique palladium hydride complex is reported. The palladium hydride complex is generated from a simple Pd 0 source and boric acid [B(OH) 3 ], which is typically identified as a waste by-product of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. A mechanism for this transformation using this novel palladium hydride complex is presented; using a direct sample loop and flow injection ESI-HRMS analysis we have detected and identified key π-allylpalladium complexes that support the addition of the palladium hydride complex to the allene.

We report a facile method for the synthesis of 1,3-dienes by a sequential process consisting of a palladium-catalyzed, base-free, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling/isomerization sequence. This sequence couples boronic acids with propargyl alcohols, generating the requisite allene in situ, followed by conversion of the unactivated allene to its 1,3-diene via a hydro-palladation/dehydro-palladation process. This process is general for a range of boronic acids, including boronic acids with electron-donating and -withdrawing groups, as well as heteroarylboronic acids. Key to this process is the boric acid byproduct of the base-free Suzuki-Miyauru coupling, which generates the required palladium-hydrido complex [H-PdII-OB(OH)2] required for the isomerization.
Gold-catalyzed isomerization of unactivated allenes into 1,3-dienes under ambient conditions

We have developed a gold-catalyzed isomerization of unactivated allenes into 1,3-dienes with nitrosobenzene as an additive. This reaction proceeded almost exclusively at room temperature for highly substituted allenes. The utility of this reaction is manifested by the development of one-pot [4+2]-cycloaddition of allenes and reactive alkenes.
