The first radical cyclizations of allenamides are described. These reactions are highly regioselective for the central carbon of the allenic moiety, leading to an efficient preparation of nitrogen heterocycles such as isoquinolines, and carbocycles such as indane and naphthalene derivatives. The exo-cyclization mode could also be achieved in some cases, leading to the synthesis of isoindoles. The feasibility of a tandem radical cyclization using allenamide is also established.
