title: Mild and efficient palladium(II)-catalyzed racemization of allenes.
abstract: Allenes undergo racemization in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2/LiBr under mild conditions; the reaction proceeds via a bromopalladation-debromopalladation sequence and tolerates various functional groups.
