title: Metal-catalyzed rearrangement of cyclopropenes to allenes.
abstract: A novel transition-metal-catalyzed rearrangement of silylated cyclopropenes to the corresponding allenes is described. The presence of both the trimethylsilyl group on the cyclopropene and the platinum catalyst are crucial for this rearrangement.
