Application

  • Allene is extensively used in a variety of photochemical, thermal, and transition metal-mediated cycloadditions.
  • It can be lithiated to obtain allenyllithium which reacts with alkyl halides to afford terminal allenes.
  • Additional application includes the preparation of reagents such as isopropenylsilanes and isopropenylstannanes by reacting with stannyl and silyl cuprates respectively.

Packaging

Supplied in a carbon steel lecture bottle with a CGA180M/CGA110F needle valve installed.
