Herein, a new nickel-catalysed protocol for the preparation of di- and trisubstituted allenes has been successfully developed via the reactions of 1,3-enynes with alkyl N -hydroxyphthalimide esters. The new method based on a reductive radical-polar crossover (RPC) process features broad substrate scope, wide functional group tolerance, and a simple catalyst system. The late-stage allenylation of drugs has also been illustrated.
