Abstract

The three-component coupling method for regio- and stereoselective difunctionalization of allenes with allenyl ethers, bis(pinacolato)diboron, and gem-dichlorocyclobutenones as electrophiles was reported, yielding a variety of highly functionalized cyclobutenone products tethering with an alkenylborate fragment. The polysubstituted cyclobutenone products also underwent diverse transformations.
