compounds, resulting from both ring closure and the transfer of the allylic group from the nitrogen to the carbon backbone. The final skeleton obtained depends on the nature of both the R2 group of the allene and the R3 group of the allylic residue. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations allowed the determination of all the mechanistic pathways involved in these processes, stemming from a common intermediate

The pallado-catalyzed tandemdeprotection/cyclization reaction of enantioenriched N-allyl tetrahydro-β-carbolines on allenes is described. The first step generates in situ a deprotected tetrahydro-β-carboline, which then undergoes a cyclization on the allene function via an intermediate π-allyl Pd(II) derivative. This reaction results in the synthesis of various chiralindolic tetracycles (mainly indolo[2
N‐Allyltetrahydro‐β‐carbolines bearing a pendant allene undergo unprecedented gold(I)‐catalyzed cyclizations proceeding with an allyl migration from the nitrogen to the allene moiety. The initial product of the gold‐catalyzed cyclization evolves either via isomerization or Cope rearrangement, leading to different scaffolds. Density function theory (DFT) calculations established that the allyl migration
