1,3-Diethynylallenes: New Modules for Three-Dimensional Acetylenic Scaffolding

Abstract
Regioselective Pd0‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of bispropargylic precursors 1 with silyl‐protected alkynes gave rise to the first 1,3‐diethynylallenes 2 [Eq. (1), LG=leaving group]. In enantiomerically pure form, these novel carbon‐rich modules could provide access—by oxidative oligomerization—to a fascinating new class of helical oligomers and polymers.
