I. The Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Allenyl Carbonyl Compounds and Their Use as Synthetic Intermediates II. Rhodium-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization: Application to the Synthesis of 3-Carboxylindoles and Attempted Applications to Allenes

Allenes are unique compounds in organic chemistry by virtue of their adjacent, orthogonal π-bonds. While of limited use in and of themselves, some classes of allenes have found use in organic synthesis as building blocks for more complex products. Previous work in the Fagnou group has identified a s...
