title: Gold-catalyzed intermolecular synthesis of alkylidenecyclopropanes through catalytic allene activation.
abstract: A stereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed intermolecular cyclopropanation of allenamides with stabilized sulfonium ylides is reported. This transformation enables the direct synthesis of diacceptor alkylidenecyclopropanes and proceeds under very mild conditions through allene activation.
