Some Facts About Chiral Allenes

• The rotation barrier to stereoisomerization of chiral allenes amounts to195 kJ/mol for 1,3-dialkylallenes and to > 125 kJ/mol for 1,3-diarylallenes, while the threshold for isolation of stereoisomers at 20oCis 83 kJ/mol.

• Higher cumulenes - pentatetraenes and heptahexaenes - have lowerrotation barrier. Thus, only few enantioenriched pentatetraenes and noheptahexaenes are known.

• Cumulated double bonds in allenes are strained. Upon undergoing anyaddition reaction it experiences a relief in strain of about 40 kJ/mol.

enantiomeric forms for an asymmetrically substituted allene• 1935, Maitland and Mills - First experimental confirmation of van't Hoff's

hypothesis. Formation of slightly dextrorotatory sample of allene bydehydration of allylic alcohol with (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid.

Conclusions

• Axially chiral allenes are very diverse and interesting syntheticallyuseful class of compounds. Numerous chiral allenes can be foundin nature.

• There are many effective methods of nonracemic chiral allenepreparation. Only a few effective asymmetric catalytic reactionsare known.

• Allenes are successfully used in many synthetic transformations,but rarely exploited as ligands for catalytic asymmetric reactions.They have been extensively used in natural product synthesis.Naturally occurring chiral allenes also have been synthesized.
