This Personal Account summarizes our recent efforts in searching for novel synthetic strategies for a number of organic molecules by using allene derivatives as valuable substrates. It starts with a concise description of the background of allene-related synthetic chemistry. The second part deals with the reactions of 1,2-allenic ketones, including the reactions of 1,2-allenic ketones with various nucleophiles to afford functionalized benzenes, heterocycles, and fluoroenones, and those of allenic ketones as nucleophiles under the promotion of bases to provide 1,3,4'-triones or functionalized furans. The third part of this account focuses on the reactions of α-allenic alcohols. In this section, multicomponent reactions involving α-allenic alcohols, and cascade reactions of α-allenic alcohols promoted by Brønsted acid or iodine, are presented.
