Recent Advances in the Tandem Cyclization/Cycloaddition of Allene Intermediates from Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Diazo Compounds with Terminal Alkynes

Abstract

This short review summarizes the most recent developments (since 2010) in the tandem cyclization/cycloaddition of allene intermediates­, generated from the copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of diazo compounds with terminal alkynes, to afford cyclic compounds.
