Abstract

Efficient access to multiple functionalized allenes via a three component 1,4-alkylcyanation of enynes with cyclic alcohol derivatives in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) under copper/photoredox dual catalysis has been developed. Both easily transformable aldehyde and cyano groups were introduced to tetra-substituted allenes through light-induced C-C bond cleavage of cyclic butanol and pentanol derivatives. The reactions proceeded smoothly under mild conditions with broad functional groups tolerance.
