In recent years, chiral porous frameworks have attracted increasing attention in asymmetric catalysis and enantiomer resolution due to their excellent performance. The metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic cages (POCs), and porous coordination cages (PCCs) are important representative of the porous framework family. Significantly, chirality can be easily introduced into these framework materials through simple bottom-up or post-modification methods, thereby promoting their applications related to chirality.

Their unique reactivity and stereochemical properties render allenes a powerful tool for the efficient and streamlined total synthesis of structurally intricate natural products. This review comprehensively summarizes the total syntheses of complex natural products involving allene cycloaddition reactions reported over the past decade (2014—2024). Among the nearly 20 total syntheses reviewed, the [2+1], [2+2], [3+2], [4+2], [4+3], [5+1] and [2+2+1] cycloaddition reactions of allenes are the most important transformations to construct the key skeleton. This is because of their ability to form multiple bonds in a single step with high atom economy, stereoselectivity, and regioselectivity, often under mild conditions. The strategic application of these reactions in forming key carbon–carbon bonds and controlling stereochemistry makes them practical for the efficient assembly of complex molecular frameworks. With the ongoing exploration of methods for allene generation, particularly the enantioselective approaches, and the continued discovery of novel cyclization reactions of allenes, allene chemistry will maintain its crucial and indispensable role in the total synthesis of natural products.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>\u0000 </p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Key Scientists</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p></p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":151,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Chemistry","volume":"43 9","pages":"1059-1077"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
