Development of methods for the sp 2 C–H transformations of allenes has received much attention, and it presents a powerful tool for the synthesis of complicated allene-containing bioactive molecules. With a copper-catalyzed radical relay, sp 2 allenic C–H arylation and alkynylation were established herein, using various aryl boronic acids and trimethoxysilyl-substituted alkynes as carbon nucleophiles and using electrophilic N–F reagents as nitrogen-centered radical precursors. These methods featured excellent site selectivity to deliver fully substituted allenes efficiently. Moreover, with silyl-substituted allenes as substrates, a subsequent dual sp 2 C–H functionalization process was established as well, which allowed for the divergent synthesis of multifunctionalized allenes, significantly expanding their chemical spaces.
