K., Eds.; Elsevier: Oxford, 2005. A Brief History of Allenes 1874-1875: Jacobus H. van't Hoff predicts the correct structures of alenes and cumulenes as well as their axial chirality (La Chemie dans l'Espace, Bazendijk: Rotterdam, 1875). 1887: In an attempt to prove the nonexistence of these compounds, B. S. Burton and H. von Pechmann report the first synthesis of an allene (Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1887, 20, 145-149). The paucity of analytical techniques make it very difficult to distinguish from the corresponding alkynes, and the structure is not proven (E. R. H. Jones, G. H. Mansfield, M. L. H. Whiting J. Chem. Soc. 1954, 3208-3212) for almost 70 years! 1924: First naturally occuring allene, pyrethrolone, characterized by H. Staudinger and L. Ruzicka (Helv. Chim. Acta 1924, 7, 177). HO O C Me Pyrethrolone Me 1935: First axially chiral allene synthesized by P. Maitland and W. H. Mills (Nature 1935, 135, 994; J. Chem. Soc. 1936, 987-998). NPh Ph Ph HO NPh D-camphorsulphonic acid Benzene, heat Ph NPh [α]5461 = +437º C NPh Ph 1952?: First cyclic allenes synthesized by A. T. Blomquist, R. E. Burge, Jr. and A. C. Sucsy (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74, 36363642; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1952, 74, 3643-47). Ring sizes above nine can be isolated. 1,2-Cyclooctadiene can be detected in small amounts at low temperatures. Ring sizes of seven or below cannot be isolated or detected. Their intermediacy has been determined through trapping/degradation studies. M. Regitz and coworkers have described a stable six membered cyclic allene, but is not a hydrocarbon (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2000, 39, 1261-1263). Structure and Spectroscopy of Allenes IR Spectroscopy: The diagnostic stretch can be found at 2000-1900 cm-1 (C=C=C asymm. stretch) and is usually strong. For comparison, alkynes are at 2260-2100 cm-1 and olefins are at 1690-1635 cm-1. Only other functional groups near this range are: diazo, cyanates, isocyanates, thiocyanates, isothiocyanates, and ketenes; but are typically at slightly higher wavenumbers. 1H NMR Spectroscopy: Typically in the same area as olefinic protons, but slightly upfield (~4.4 - 4.9 ppm). 13C NMR Spectroscopy: Cα and Cγ are more upfield than typical olefin (~73 - 120 ppm). Cβ is actually slightly more downfield than a ketone!

H. Brewster (Topics in Stereochemistry, 1967, 2, 1-72): Through mathematical models, the actual optical rotation of optically pure chiral allenes can be calculated. At one time this was a very common method to determine approximate optical purity (i.e. % ee). Not very amenable to more complicated systems, and has now been supplanted by GC, HPLC, and NMR methods. G. Lowe (J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1965, 411-413): The absolute configuration can be assignned based on the sign (+ or -) of rotation. From this, you can then assign S or R. A X Y B Most polarizable group A is placed at the top. If Y is more polarizable than X, the allene will be dextrorotatory (+). If X is more polarizable than Y, the allene will be levorotatory (-).

(R)-segphos Conclusions Presented a flavor of the methods known to construct axial chiral allenes in an enantioselective manner, as well as a few reactions these products are useful for. Many reliable methods for chirality transfer from pre-generated stereocenters with stiochiometric reagents. There is still a deficiency in catalytic asymmetric methods. The selectivities of these processes are not as reliable, and scope has yet to be defined. Allenes are not just theoretical curiosities and can be useful synthons for asymmetric synthesis as well as potentially useful final targets for biologically relavant molecules.
