An efficient and mild Cu-catalyzed protocol has been developed for the decarboxylative silylation of alkyne-functionalized cyclic carbonate substrates affording 2,3-allenols featuring four different substituents. This practical methodology gives access to a wide scope of tetrasubstituted functionalized allenes in excellent yields.
