Easily accessible 3-bromopenta-2,4-dienyl acetate was applied to the palladium-catalyzed reaction with soft nucleophiles. The reaction proceeded through the stepwise 2-fold nucleophilic substitution via formal SN2′ and SN2 processes giving the various doubly functionalized C2-symmetric allenes in good yields.
