title: Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylation of allenyl 3-oxoalkanoates: an efficient synthesis of 3,4-allenyl ketones.
abstract: An efficient synthesis of 3,4-allenyl ketones via the Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of the readily available 3-oxoalkanoates is reported. The C-C bond forming reaction occurs under mild conditions producing CO(2) as the only byproduct.
