In summary, the scope and limitations <strong>of</strong> the Rh(I)-catalyzed allenic Alder-ene reaction<br />

<strong>of</strong> amino-ester tethered allenynes were explored. The reaction displays a broad scope and<br />

functional group compatibility proving it ideal for DOS. Although the triene products obtained in<br />

this manner may serve as useful biological probes, the potential reactivity <strong>of</strong> the triene moiety in<br />

biological systems was concerning. Instead, it was reasoned that this reactivity can be exploited<br />

towards the efficient assembly <strong>of</strong> more complex molecular scaffolds. These efforts are described<br />

next.<br />
