3. For a few first examples, see ref 1.
4. This intermediate could be isolated and characterized for R = t-Bu (see ref 1).
5. Whereas methoxyallene was generally used in large excess (3 equiv) only 1 equiv of allenes 6a-c was employed. This may explain the moderate yields.
6. The lower yield may be due to side reactions of the 2-alkyl side chain during the relatively harsh conditions of the condensation step.
7. Unfortunately, cyanopyridines were not suitable substrates for the addition of lithiated alkoxyallenes. So far, only complex mixtures of compounds were isolated.
8. The unpolar pyridyl nonaflates are much easier to separate from byproducts. Furthermore, they are excellent precursors for the anticipated palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. For examples of the reactions of alkenyl nonaflates, see: Högermeier, J.; Reissig, H.-U. Chem. Eur. J. 2007, 13, 2410-2420 and references cited in this publication.
9. Several of the compounds prepared show interesting photophysical properties, which will have to be investigated in more detail.
