Abstract: Allenamides are special allenes, and the unique reactivity, selectivity (both stereoselective
and regionally selective) and stability of allenamides have been widely studied. In this
review, the development of the free radical transformation of allenamides over the last few years
will be summarized. This review discusses in detail in three parts: intermolecular radical addition
to C- X (X = N, S, O, Se) bonds, metal salt mediated cyclization of allenamides, and photocatalytic
cyclization of allenamides. In addition, reasonable details of the mechanisms are provided
for the vast majority of these transformations.
