Abstract We report a palladium-catalyzed allene bifunctionalization reaction that forms C C and either C O or C N bonds in one pot with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. Carboxylic acids, amides, and hydroxide are all suitable nucleophiles. Organoboronic acid acts as hydroxide transfer reagent. An intermediate π-allyl palladium complex was isolated, which yields improved catalytic performance as well as evidence of the origin of stereoselectivity. A derivatization study emphasizes the utility of the functionalized allylic products.
