The Stille cross-coupling of the bromoallenes 3 with the stannylalkynes 6 o
r distannylalkyne 8 provided a convenient route for the synthesis of the co
njugated yne-allenes 7 or the diastereomeric yne-diallenes, meso-g and (R,R
)/(S,S)-9. Analogously to 7, the phosphorylyne-allenes 14 were also prepare
d under Stille conditions, starting from the phosphorylallenes 12 and propa
rgylstannane 6a. Alternatively, yne-allenes 17 and 18 were obtained from he
xadiynol 16 with orthoester 2b or diethoxychlorophosphane 13a by [3.3]- and
[2.3]-sigmatropic rearrangements.
