Recent advances in azacyclic allenes showed inherent axial chirality that can be transferred to cycloaddition products to obtain highly complex polycyclic systems stereoselectively. With the total synthesis of Lissodendoric acid A is demonstrated that cyclic allenes are a powerful tool for complex molecule synthesis. Research Areas: Organic Chemistry
