This review deals with the synthesis of chiral allenes, including those which occur in nature, together with the determination of their absolute configuration and optical purity. The treatment of these subjects is preceded by a summary of the nomenclature used in this article. The literature has been surveyed through December 1971. 1. Naturally Occurring Chiral Allenes 2. Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Allenes 3. Resolution by Formation of Diastereomers 4. Synthesis from a Chiral Precursor containing One or More Chiral Centers or Exhibiting Molecular Dissymmetry 5. Determination of Absolute Configuration 6. Determination of Optical Purity
