12. Cross-conjugated trienes have been accessed previously using transition metal mediation. Malacria has subjected an allenyne to a cobalt(I) complex and obtained a mixture of two cross-conjugated trienes by using a tert-butyl group on the proximal double bond of the allene to direct the regiochemistry of the cyclization reaction to the distal double bond of the allene.

13. Sato has effected an Alder-ene reaction from an allenynol by using a two-carbon tether that favors reaction with the distal double bond of the allene. (b) T. Yamazaki, H. Urabe, and F. Sato Tetrahedron Lett. 39 1998 7333
14. Livinghouse has observed a cross conjugated triene as a minor byproduct (21% yield) when using cobalt to catalyze a Pauson-Khand reaction. B.L. Pagenkopf, D.B. Belanger, D.J.R. O'Mahony, and T. Livinghouse Synthesis 2000 1009
15. To the best of our knowledge, this type of Ireland-Claisen rearrangement is an unprecedented protocol for the formation of allenes.
16. More recently our group has found that performing Alder-ene reactions at lower concentrations (0.05-0.01 M) gives higher yields of trienes in faster reaction times suggesting product inhibition.
