Abstract: n-Butyllithium smoothly deprotonates alkoxyallenes
at C-1. The generated lithiated species reacts with a variety of electrophiles
furnishing after cyclization functionalized furan, pyrrole, or 1,2-oxazine
derivatives. The formation of new CC bonds often occurs with high
stereoselectivities, which are exploited for efficient and selective
syntheses of natural products or other compounds of interest.
